GST RETURN OVERVIEW

GST Return overview

GST is a self-assessed destination based taxation system.

Registered Person required to furnish details of sales, purchases

and tax paid and collected there on by filing return with GST

NIL return even if there is no transaction

Government entities / PSUs , etc. not dealing in GST supplies or

persons exclusively dealing in exempted / Nil rated / non –GST

goods or services would neither be required to obtain registration

nor required to file returns under the GST law.

However, State tax authorities may assign Departmental ID to such

government departments / PSUs / other persons and will ask the

suppliers to quote this ID in the supply invoices for all inter-State

purchases being made to them.

RETURNS FOR REGULAR DEALER

GSTR 1 ( Sales Return)

This is a sales register of goods and services, here we can enter the details data of sales . If a persons sells his goods and services to a register person within the state in that case he is liable to charge CGST and SGST on the transaction. At the same point of time if the person sells his goods and services to other state he is liable for IGST charge on him.

Intrastate / Within State : CGST , SGST

Interstate / Outside State : IGST

Here of each transaction it is important to classify the goods or services with his SAC or HSN code because these codes will identify the nature of the transaction.

Again for avoidance of the black money or hawala transaction in GST returns, there is a need to identify some important transaction like inter state transaction worth Rs. 250000/- or more.

Final acknowledgement of receipt of return will be generated after validation of data is completed, which will also lock-in the Transaction ID.
