GST Return Filing

GST Return Filing is the process through which businesses registered under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system report their sales, purchases, input tax credit, and tax liabilities to the tax authorities. Filing GST returns is mandatory for all GST-registered businesses, and timely submission ensures compliance with the law while avoiding penalties. The returns include details of sales, GST collected, GST paid on purchases, and the net tax payable or refundable, and can be filed monthly, quarterly, or annually based on the type of business.
