Late filing of GST Returns
- 1. Return filing is mandatory under GST. Even if there is no transaction, you must file a Nil return.
- 2. You cannot file a return if you do not file previous month/quarter’s return.
- 3. Hence, late filing of GST return will have a cascading effect leading to heavy fines and penalty.
- 4. The late filing fee of the GSTR-1 is populated in the liability ledger of GSTR-3B filed immediately after such delay.
Interest/late fees to be paid
-
-
- 1. Interest is 18% per annum. It has to be calculated by the taxpayer on the amount of outstanding tax to be paid. It shall be calculated on the Net tax liability identified in the ledger at the time of payment. The time period will be from the next day of filing due date till the actual date of payment.
- 2. As per GST Act Late fee is Rs. 100 per day per Act. So it is 100 under CGST & 100 under SGST. Total will be Rs. 200/day. The maximum is Rs. 5,000. There is no late fee on IGST.
