Taxpayers who opted for the QRMP scheme have a choice of filing their returns either monthly or quarterly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, vendors who do not prefer monthly payments of taxes and small taxpayers can consider availing the composition scheme under GST. To enrol under this scheme, annual aggregate turnover must be less than \u20b95 crore. Composite dealers can process a filing statement-cum-challan to pay taxes quarterly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note certain GST forms, like GSTR-4, support annual returns. In such a case, to file a 2023-24 annual return, taxpayers should submit the form within the due date of the 2024-25 calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Late Payment Interest & Fees for GST<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nBased on the GST provisions, late filing returns incur penalties. Several factors play key roles in determining the cost of late fees and penalties. It is crucial to understand these factors clearly. Here is a thorough breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nDaily Charge<\/strong>: As the name implies, this fee serves for each day of delayed return. The amount of this factor varies as per different GST returns. It is counted every day until the return is filed, massively increasing the overall penalty.<\/li>\n\n\n\nMaximum Cap<\/strong>: To save enterprises from high penalties, the government has imposed a maximum cap. It aims to keep the penalties proportionate compared to the total payable tax.<\/li>\n\n\n\nType of Return<\/strong>: The type of return you are filing also signifies the penalty amount for late payment. Different forms have various rates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nHere is a tabulated illustration for improved understanding:<\/p>\n\n\n\nReturn name<\/strong><\/td>Return type<\/strong><\/td>Annual turnover in the previous FY<\/strong><\/td>Daily late fee<\/strong><\/td>Maximum late fee<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>GSTR 1 and 3B<\/td> Nil<\/td> NA<\/td> \u20b920<\/td> \u20b9500<\/td><\/tr> Others<\/td> Up to \u20b91.5 crore<\/td> \u20b950<\/td> \u20b92,000<\/td><\/tr> From \u20b91.5 crore to \u20b95 crore<\/td> \u20b95,000<\/td><\/tr> More than \u20b95 crore<\/td> \u20b910,000<\/td><\/tr> GSTR 4 (from FY 21-22)<\/td> Nil<\/td> NA<\/td> \u20b920<\/td> \u20b9500<\/td><\/tr> Others<\/td> NA<\/td> \u20b950<\/td> \u20b92,000<\/td><\/tr> CMP-08<\/td> NA<\/td> NA<\/td> \u20b9200<\/td> \u20b95,000<\/td><\/tr> GSTR 5<\/td> Nil<\/td> NA<\/td> \u20b920<\/td> \u20b95,,000<\/td><\/tr> Others<\/td> \u20b950<\/td><\/tr> GSTR 5A<\/td> Nil<\/td> NA<\/td> \u20b9100<\/td> NA<\/td><\/tr> Others<\/td> \u20b9200<\/td><\/tr> GSTR 6<\/td> Nil<\/td> NA<\/td> \u20b950<\/td> NA<\/td><\/tr> Others<\/td><\/tr> GSTR 7<\/td> Nil<\/td> NA<\/td> \u20b9200<\/td> \u20b95,000<\/td><\/tr> Others<\/td><\/tr> GSTR 8<\/td> Nil<\/td> NA<\/td> \u20b9200<\/td> \u20b95,000<\/td><\/tr> <\/td> Others<\/td><\/tr> GSTR 9 \/ GSTR 9C<\/td> Nil<\/td> NA<\/td> \u20b9200<\/td> 0.50% of the annual turnover<\/td><\/tr> Others<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinal Word<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHopefully, this all-inclusive guide to the GST payment due date <\/strong>will cater to all your needs.
