Know About Covid Relief Measures for GST Taxpayers
The finance ministry hit an impressive gross GST revenue collection for the month of April 2021, setting a record high at Rs. 141,384 crores. However, the covid wave has hit a rough patch and there are no signs of any improvement and hence, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has decided to grant relief to taxpayers in meeting statutory and compliance requirements. Let’s take a walk through the changes that have been introduced in light of the pandemic: Relief in Interest Rates:

| 1 | For registered persons having an aggregate turnover of upto Rs. 5 crore | Nil rate of interest rate for the first 15 days from the due date, 9% for the next 15 days, 18% thereafter | Mar-April '21 for normal tax payers; Jan-Mar '21 for taxpayers under QRMP scheme |
| 2 | For registered persons having an aggregate turnover of > Rs. 5 crore | Interest rate at 9% for the first 15 days from the due date, 18% thereafter | Mar-April '21 |
| 3 | For taxpayers who have opted for composition scheme | Nil rate of interest rate for the first 15 days from the due date, 9% for the next 15 days, 18% thereafter | Mar-April '21 |
Waiver of late fee:
