New GST return forms launched; compliance procedure simplified from April 1


The goods and services tax (GST) network released the revised return forms which businesses would need to comply with from this year. The new forms would be operated on a pilot basis from April 1, 2019, and would be mandated across the country from July, according to the decisions of the GST Council.

The new and revised return format might obviate the want to furnish returns underneath the circle of relatives of GSTR-1, GSTR-2 and GSTR-3, but the annual return GSTR-9 might continue.

The GST Council had suspended GSTR-2, a purchase return, and GSTR-three, input-output return, because of the complex form structure. on the other hand, GSTR-1, a sale return, and GSTR-3B, precis input-output return, remain. the brand new paperwork are uploaded following an exercise to simplify the returns under GST.

The new return codecs — named “regular”, “sahaj” and “sugam” — might make the compliance manner less difficult for the smallest of groups wherein taxpayers as much as a turnover of Rs five crore might have an option to record any of the three bureaucracy.

For the revenue department, the new format would help in matching the invoices of the seller and the purchaser, and would help the department check evasion to a great extent. But at the same time, it is likely to increase clerical and administrative work for businesses.

The HSN-wise details need to be provided at the invoice level rather than the summary level. In addition, while details at 4-digit HSN codes are required in the current format, the new format would need those details at the 6-digit HSN level.

Under the new format, invoices can be reported on a continuous basis.
