About

What is GST Return?

A GST Return is a document that registered taxpayers must file under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system. It contains details of their sales, purchases, tax collected on sales (Output GST), and tax paid on purchases (Input Tax Credit or ITC). The return helps the government calculate the taxpayer’s GST liability or refund eligibility. Various types of GST returns exist, such as GSTR-1 for outward supplies, GSTR-3B for summarizing tax payments, and GSTR-9 for annual returns. Filing is mandatory for compliance and to claim ITC, ensuring business transparency and avoiding penalties. Returns are filed monthly, quarterly, or annually based on the taxpayer’s category.
