Dual GST:-
India has adopted a Dual GST modelin view of the federal structure
of the country. Consequently, Centre and States simultaneously levy
GST on taxable supply of goods or services or both, which takes
place within a State or Union Territory. Thus, tax is imposed
concurrently by the Centre and States, i.e. Centre and States
simultaneously tax goods and services. Now, the Centre also has the
power to tax intra-State sales & States are also empowered to tax
services. GST extends to whole of India including the State of
Jammu and Kashmir
CGST/SGST/UTGST/IGST
GST is a destination- based tax applicable on all transactions involving
supply of goods and services for a
consideration subject to exceptions thereof. GST in India comprises of
Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) - levied and collected by
Central Government, State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) - levied and
collected by State Governments/Union Territories with Legislatures and
Union Territory Goods and Services Tax (UTGST) - levied and collected
by Union Territories without Legislatures, on intra-State supplies of
taxable goods and/or services. As a general rule, where the location of
the supplier and the place of supply of goods or services are in the same
State/Union territory, it is treated as intra-State supply of goods or
services respectively.
Further, where the location of the supplier and the place of supply of
goods or services are in (i) two different States or (ii) two different
Union Territories or (iii) a State and a Union territory, it is treated as
inter-State supply of goods or services respectively. Inter-State supplies
of taxable goods and/orservices are subject to Integrated Goods and
Services Tax (IGST). IGST is the sum total of CGST and SGST/UTGST
and is levied by Centre on all inter-State supplies.
Registration Every supplier of goods and/ or services is required to
obtain registration in the State/UT from where he makes the taxable
supply if his aggregate turnover exceeds the threshold limit during a FY.
Different threshold limits have been prescribed for various States and
Union Territories depending upon the fact whether the supplier is
engaged exclusively in supply of goods, or exclusively in supply of
services or in supply of both goods and services.
The threshold limit prescribed for various States/UTs
are as follows:
Composition Scheme
In GST regime, tax (i.e. CGST and SGST/UTGST for
intra-State supplies and IGST for inter-State supplies) is
payable by every taxable person and in this regard,
provisions have been prescribed in the law.
However, for providing relief to small businesses,
manufacturers, service providers, suppliers of food
articles, traders, etc., making intra-State supplies, a
simpler method of paying taxes is prescribed, known as
composition levy.
Exemptions
Apart from providing relief to small-scale business, the
law also contains provisions for granting exemption from
Payment of tax on essential goods and/or services.
Till September 2018, the due date was the 10th of every month.
Till December 2020, was the end of the month succeeding the quarter.
GSTR-2A:
GSTR-2A is a view-only dynamic GST return relevant for the
recipient or buyer of goods and services. It contains the details of
all inward supplies of goods and services i.e., purchases made
from GST registered suppliers during a tax period.
The data is auto-populated based on data filed by the
corresponding suppliers in their GSTR-1 returns. Further, data
filed in the Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) by the QRMP
taxpayer, also get auto-filled. Since GSTR-2A is a read-only
return, no action can be taken in it. However, it is referred by the
buyers to claim an accurate Input Tax Credit (ITC) for every
financial year, across multiple tax periods. In case any invoice is
missing, the buyer can communicate with the seller to upload it
in their GSTR-1 on a timely basis. It was used frequently for
claiming ITC for every tax period until August 2020. Thereafter,
the buyers must mostly refer to GSTR-2B, static return, to claim
the input tax credit for every tax period.
GSTR-2B:
GSTR-2B is again a view-only static GST return
important for the recipient or buyer of goods and services.
It is available every month, starting in August 2020 and
contains constant ITC data for a period whenever checked
back.
ITC details will be covered from the date of filing GSTR-
1 for the preceding month (M-1) up to the date of filing
GSTR-1 for the current month (M). The return is made
available on the 12th of every month, giving sufficient
time before filing GSTR-3B, where the ITC is declared.
GSTR-2B provides action to be taken against every
invoice reported, such as to be reversed, ineligible, subject
to reverse charge, references to the table numbers in
GSTR-3B.
GSTR-2:
GSTR-2 is currently a suspended GST return, that applied
to registered buyers to report the inward supplies of goods
and services, i.e. the purchases made during a tax period.
The details in the GSTR-2 return had to be auto-populated
from the GSTR- 2A. Unlike GSTR-2A, the GSTR-2
return can be edited. GSTR-2 is to be filed by all normal
taxpayers registered under GST. However, the filing of
the same has been suspended ever since September 2017.
GSTR-3:
GSTR-3 is again currently a suspended GST return. It was a
monthly summary return for furnishing summarized details of all
outward supplies made, inward supplies received and input tax
credit claimed, along with details of the tax liability and taxes
paid. This return would have got auto-generated on the basis of
the GSTR-1 and GSTR-2 returns filed. GSTR-3 is to be filed by
all normal taxpayers registered under GST, however, the filing
of the same has been suspended ever since September 2017.
GSTR-3B:
GSTR-3B is a monthly self-declaration to be filed, for furnishing
summarized details of all outward supplies made, input tax credit
claimed, tax liability ascertained and taxes paid.
GSTR-3B is to be filed by all normal taxpayers registered under
GST. The sales and input tax credit details must be reconciled
with GSTR-1 and GSTR-2B every tax period before filing
GSTR-3B.GST reconciliation is crucial to identify mismatches
in data, that may lead to GST notices in future or suspension of
GST registration as well.
The filing frequency of GSTR-3B is currently as follows:
(a) Monthly, 20th* of every month: For taxpayers with an
aggregate turnover in the previous financial year of more than
Rs.5 crore or have been otherwise eligible but still opted out of
the QRMP scheme.
(b) Quarterly, 22nd of the month following the quarter for ‘X’**
category of States and 24th of the month following the quarter
for ‘Y’** category of States: For the taxpayers with aggregate
turnover equal to or below Rs 5 crore, eligible and remain opted
into the QRMP scheme.
GSTR-4:
GSTR-4 is the annual return that was to be filed by the
composition taxable persons under GST, by 30th April of the
year following the relevant financial year. It has replaced the
erstwhile GSTR-9A (annual return) from FY 2019-20 onwards.
Prior to FY 2019-20, this return had to be filed on a quarterly
basis. Thereafter, a simple challan in form CMP-08 filed by 18th
of the month succeeding every quarter replaced it.
The composition scheme is a system in which taxpayers dealing
with goods and having a turnover up to Rs.1.5 crores can opt
into and pay taxes at a fixed rate on the turnover declared.
Further, the service providers can avail a similar scheme CGST
(Rate) Notification 2/2019 dated 7th March 2019 if turnover is
up to Rs.50 lakh.
GSTR-5:
GSTR-5 is the return to be filed by non-resident foreign
taxpayers, who are registered under GST and carry out business
transactions in India. The return contains details of all outward
supplies made, inward supplies received, credit/debit notes, tax
liability and taxes paid. The GSTR-5 return is to be filed
monthly by the 20th of each month under GSTIN that the
taxpayer is registered in India.
GSTR-5A:
GSTR-5A refers to a summary return for reporting the
outward taxable supplies and tax payable by Online
Information and Database Access or Retrieval Services
(OIDAR) provider under GST.
The due date to file GSTR-5A is the 20th of every month.
GSTR-6:
GSTR-6 is a monthly return to be filed by an Input
Service Distributor (ISD). It will contain details of input
tax credit received and distributed by the ISD. It will
further contain details of all documents issued for the
distribution of input credit and the manner of distribution.
The due date to file GSTR-6 is the 13th of every month.
GSTR-7:
GSTR-7 is a monthly return to be filed by persons required to
deduct TDS (Tax deducted at source) under GST.
This return will contain details of TDS deducted, the TDS
liability payable and paid and TDS refund claimed if any.
The due date to file GSTR-7 is the 10th of every month.
GSTR-9:
GSTR-9 is the annual return to be filed by taxpayers registered
under GST. It is due by 31st December of the year following the
relevant financial year, as per the GST law.
It contains the details of all outward supplies made, inward
supplies received during the relevant financial year under
different tax heads i.e. CGST, SGST & IGST and a summary
value of supplies reported under every HSN code, along with
details of taxes payable and paid. It is a consolidation of all the
monthly or quarterly returns (GSTR-1, GSTR- 2A, GSTR-3B)
filed during that financial year. GSTR-9 is required to be filed by
all taxpayers registered under GST. However, there are few
exceptions such as taxpayers who have opted for the
composition scheme, casual taxable persons, input service
distributors, non-resident taxable persons and persons paying
TDS under section 51 of the CGST Act.
The time period will be from the next day of filing due date till the
actual date of payment.
As per the CGST Act, the late fee is Rs.100 per day per Act. So, it
is Rs.100 under CGST & Rs.100 under SGST. The total shall be
Rs.200/day. However, there is a maximum levy of Rs. 5,000.
