Know All About GSTR 10
This article includes all the questions regarding GSTR10 or final return, which may come in the mind of a taxpayer. Such as
Distinction Between Annual Return and Final Return
What is the difference between Annual return and Final return? Is the most basic question that arises in the mind of the taxpayer. So, to sort out this dilemma you can check the basic difference below
Annual Return – or Form GSTR-9 is to be furnished by all the normal taxpayer under GST and it has to be filed once a year.
Final Return – or Form GSTR-10 is to be filed by all persons whose registration under GST has been cancelled or surrendered and it is a one-time process.
Who Should File GSTR 10?
Any person whose registration under GST has been cancelled or surrendered shall file GSTR 10 on the common portal. A normal taxpayer shall not file a final return.
When to File GSTR 10?
GSTR10 shall be filed by a taxpayer within three months from the date of cancellation or date of cancellation order; whichever is later.
Let us understand this with an example if the date of cancellation is 31 December 2018. Then in such a situation, it shall be filed on or before 1st April 2019. However, in case if a notice is intimated to the taxpayer that he has to file GSTR10 on 15 April 2019. In such case, he has to file the final return on 15th April 2019 and not on 1st April 2019.
What is the Penalty for not Filing GSTR 10?
If a taxpayer fails to file final GST return, then notice for not GSTR10 filing the GSTR-10 final return due date will be sent to that taxpayer.
Later, the taxpayer would be provided 15 days notice-period for GSTR10 filing the return with all the required documents.
If the taxpayer fails to file the GSTR-10 return within the notice period, then the tax officer would issue the final order of cancellation along with the amount of GST tax payable including interest or GSTR-10 penalty.
Hence, to avoid unnecessary litigation or liabilities, it is important for all taxpayers to file GSTR-10 return within 3 months.
