GST Returns and Due dates

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a tax levied on the supply of goods and services in India. If you are registered under GST, you are required to file regular GST returns. The due dates for GST return filing depend on the type of taxpayer and the turnover of the business. GST returns are the tax forms that need to be filed by registered taxpayers to the Indian government on a regular basis. Here are the different types of GST returns and their due dates:

1. GSTR-1: GSTR-1 is a monthly or quarterly return that contains details of outward supplies made by a registered taxpayer. The due date for filing GSTR-1 is the 11th day of the following month for monthly filers and the last day of the following month for quarterly filers.
2. GSTR-3B: GSTR-3B is a monthly return that summarises the details of inward and outward supplies, input tax credit claimed, and tax paid. The due date for filing GSTR-3B is the 20th day of the following month.
