Last day to file GSTR-1 tomorrow; these six type of registered taxpayers are exempted
After Form-3B, the last date to file another form is tomorrow. The new tax regime Goods and Service Tax (GST) has made it mandatory to file 37 returns every year.
Considering the filing GST return as a "new concept" for the taxpayers, the Ministry of Finance waived late fee of for all taxpayers who could not file GSTR 3B for the month of July.
However, at the same time, the Ministry said the deadline to file returns in the month of September will remain same.
GSTR 1 is to be filed by all taxpayers by 5th of September 2017 and GSTR 2 and GSTR 3 to be filed by all taxpayers by 10th and 15th of September 2017 respectively.
As only one day left to file GSTR-1, and thinking whether you are eligible or now, then we tell you.
GSTR-1 is a monthly return that summarizes all outward supplies by normal and casual registered taxpayers.
Every registered person is required to file GSTR 1 irrespective of whether there are any transactions during the month or not.

Composition Dealers: Every tax administration aims towards timely recovery of taxes, filing of returns, simplified generation and maintenance of records, invoices and others documents. Such elements are often a challenge for small businesses.

GST Composition Scheme also contains an option for a registered taxable person having turnover less than the limit to pay tax at a lower rate respect to certain specified conditions.
