Proper management of GST responsibilities would help businesses stay organised with financial information and not face any complications during the assessment of the taxes. A GST annual return is an annual declaration filed by eligible taxpayers to give the details about sales, purchase, amount of taxes paid, input tax credit, and other business transactions made in a financial year. At CA Surya Prakash Associates, we have experts who can guide stapurchases,all-scale and big businesses in preparing and filing annual GST returns. Our professionals will review records, verify the transaction details, find out differences if any, and then file the annual return.
The Annual Return of GST, generally known as GSTR-9, is a summary of reports that include all the information regarding GST transactions made by a business during a financial year. All the information about the outward supply, input tax credit, tax payments, amendments, and adjustments included in regular GST returns will be included in this return. This return is mainly prepared to get the yearly summary of business activity under GST. We assist the businesses to make their returns by checking previously submitted returns, comparing them with their accounting books, and finding any mismatches before filing the returns. If there is any difference in sales from accounting books and GST returns, our experts analyse the reasons for the same and prepare corrections accordingly.
The annual return requirements for GST depend upon the category of the taxpayer, turnover and the GST rules applicable. Normally, the registered taxpayers under GST, which include companies, partnership businesses and other business entities, will be required to complete the GSTR-9 filing if required by them as per the eligibility criteria. There may be certain types of taxpayers who will have other requirements as per their GST registration and other business dealings. The CA Surya Prakash Associates assist business organisations to determine their filing requirements through analysis of GST registration, turnovers and transaction details.

Compile all required information accurately in the applicable annual return format.

It is quite common for many firms to make mistakes while filing their GSTR-9 report due to either incomplete reconciliations or faulty transaction reporting. Such simple mistakes lead to GST notices being issued. Thus, checking your financial records before filing your GSTR-9 is always important.
Common Mistakes Businesses Should Avoid:
The submission of an annual return before the due date ensures that a business avoids unnecessary burden. Failure to file the annual return within the due date would result in payment of appropriate charges depending upon the number of days delayed and notifications from the government. Apart from the financial aspect, there may be trouble in further audits of taxes or business. CA Surya Prakash Associates assists businesses in understanding their responsibilities and completing the annual return process within due time to avoid unnecessary risks.
Possible Effects of Late Filing Include the Following:-
The due date for the filing of GSTR-9 has been notified by the government according to the particular financial year and provisions of GST. It is advisable for the business entities to always refer to the latest notifications from GST and not go by previous dates, because the due date may be revised through notifications. Submission of annual return well before the due date gives adequate time to rectify any discrepancy, if there is any.
