An annual GST return is a comprehensive statement that provides a detailed summary of a taxpayer's activities for a financial year. It contains details of the taxpayer's outward and inward supplies, ITC claimed, taxes paid, and GST liability for the year. Among the various components of an annual GST return, the analysis of revenue items and outward supply disclosures are crucial for taxpayers and authorities.
The analysis of revenue items in an annual GST return provides a clear picture of a taxpayer's revenue earned during the financial year. The revenue earned can be classified into two categories - taxable and exempt. The revenue earned from taxable supplies attracts GST, while revenue earned from exempt supplies does not attract GST. The analysis of revenue items helps the taxpayers to understand their taxable turnover, which is the basis for calculating GST liability.
The analysis of outward supply disclosures in an annual GST return provides information on the taxpayer's sales made during the financial year. It is crucial to ensure that all sales are reported accurately in the annual return as it determines the taxpayer's GST liability. The outward supply disclosures are bifurcated into taxable, nil-rated, exempt, and non-GST supplies. Taxpayers need to ensure that all the supplies are reported accurately in the correct category to avoid any penalties and interest.
Overall, the analysis of revenue items and outward supply disclosures is essential for the taxpayers and authorities to ensure that all the supplies are reported accurately, and GST liability is calculated correctly. It also helps the authorities to identify any discrepancies and take necessary actions to rectify them.
An Annual Return under GST is a return that taxpayers registered under the GST regime have to file once a year. It consolidates all the monthly or quarterly returns filed by taxpayers throughout the financial year. The Annual Return provides a summary of the taxpayer's inward and outward supplies, ITC claimed and availed, and taxes paid.
As per the GST law, taxpayers with an aggregate turnover of more than Rs. 2 crores are required to file an Annual Return in Form GSTR-9, while taxpayers with an aggregate turnover of up to Rs. 2 crores can file the Annual Return in Form GSTR-9A. Additionally, taxpayers with an aggregate turnover of more than Rs. 5 crores are required to file a Reconciliation Statement in Form GSTR-9C, along with their Annual Return.
The Annual Return filing due date for a financial year is December 31st of the following year, and the due date for filing the Reconciliation Statement is December 31st or 31st of March of the following year, depending on the taxpayer's category.
