WHAT IS GST RETURN FILLING?
Every supplier registered under the GST law has to file various returns regularly. Period of filing returns and the type of returns are based on the nature of business. GST returns can be filed online via GST portals.
Suppliers registered under the GST regime have to furnish the details of inward and outward of services or goods. The amount of tax is calculated from these details. Hence, it’s mandatory to provide correct information regularly under the GST regime. Furnishing incorrect details may attract penalties and cancellation of registration.
Why should you file your returns regularly?
To easily avail loan
In partnership firms, virtually every control rests with the partners. This makes decision making the task very simple and prompt as compare to Companies. Partners hold wide-ranging power in a partnership firm.
For avoiding penalty
Failure to file the return before the due date for filing the return will attract penalties and interest. Penalty for late filing of GST returns in case of nil tax liabilities is INR 20 per day. If the taxpayer has some tax liability, then the penalty is INR 50 per day. Regular return filing can save you from such penalties.
Higher compliance ratings
The procedure is established to rate entities registered under the GST regime based on their regularity in filing GST returns. These ratings are available for public use. These ratings can help a business entity in maintaining it’s goodwill and reputation in the market. Failure to file return regularly will hamper the ratings adversely resulting in a poor score.
High accountability
As all the partners hold a substantial share in the firm, they work more diligently for the success of the business. This can ensure a better chance of running a successful business.
