    WHAT IS GST RETURN FILING ?

    GST return filing is the process by which businesses report their sales, purchases, tax collected on sales (output tax), and tax paid on purchases (input tax) to the government under the Goods and Services Tax system. These returns help the government track the proper payment of GST and ensure compliance with tax laws.

    Businesses must file GST returns monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on their turnover and specific scheme eligibility. The key returns include GSTR-1 for outward supplies, GSTR-3B for summary returns, GSTR-9 for annual returns, and GSTR-4 for composition scheme taxpayers.

    Accurate and timely filing is crucial to avoid penalties, claim input tax credits, and maintain a good compliance rating. The process is completed online through the GST portal, making it accessible and efficient for taxpayers.
