GST Annual Returns

GST annual return is a comprehensive document that taxpayers registered under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system need to file annually. It includes a summary of all transactions that took place during the financial year, i.e., from July to March. The GST annual return is filed in Form GSTR-9, and there are different types of GSTR-9 forms for different types of taxpayers.
