PrintListen to this Article
A return is a statement of specified particulars relating to business activity undertaken by the taxable person during a prescribed period.
A taxable person has a legal obligation:
- To declare his tax liability for a given period in the return;
- Furnish details about the taxes paid in accordance with that return;
- File correct and complete return within stipulated time frame.
Who needs to file Return in GST regime?
- Every registered person is required to file a return for the prescribed period. Also in the case where there is no business activity in a prescribed period i.e. Nil return.
- UN agencies etc. will have unique GST ID and will file return for the month (in simpler form) during which they make purchases. They would not be required to file regular return. They would submit their purchase statements (without purchase invoices) as per the periodicity prescribed for claim of refund.
- 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. They will ask the suppliers to quote the Department ID in the supply invoices for all inter-State purchases being made to them. Such supplies will be at par with B2C supplies and will be governed by relevant provisions relating to B 2C supplies.
