GST returns filing: Know the difference between GSTR-1, GSTR-2, GSTR-3
Ministry of Finance, on Saturday tweeted saying, "GSTR 1 is to be filed by all taxpayers by 5th of September 2017. GSTR 2&3 to be filed by all taxpayers by 10th and 15th of Sept 2017 respectively.
The government has waived the penalty of Rs per day for taxpayers who failed to file the first Goods and Service Tax returns within the deadline. However, the taxpayers will have to bear the interest on late payment of dues.
