The first return of GST is here and is due for filing is 20th of August, 2017. Most of the registered persons still haven’t filed the Return GSTR-3B.
Here are some points you need to remember for filing the first GST Return GSTR-3B.
1) It is Mandatory to file GSTR-3B and there is no exemption from filing GSTR-3B even if you have not carried on any business in the month of July’2017. NIL GSTR-3B is also to be filed mandatorily.
2) GSTR-3B is the provisional return for the month of July’2017. Therefore all dealers who are required to file monthly returns under the GST Regime are required to file GSTR-3B.
Composition dealers are required to file quarterly returns therefore dealers who have opted for composition scheme are not required to file GSTR-3B.
3) GSTR-3B is not the final return for the month of July’2017 this is only a provisional return. GSTR-1, GSTR-2, GSTR-3 for July’2017 are still required to be filed.
4) GSTR-3B cannot be revised. Any revision in the figures for July’2017 has to be done through GSTR-1, 2 and 3 to be filed later on.
5) Any taxes due for July’2017 have to be paid before filing GSTR-3B.
6) If there is any change in the figures at the time of filing forms GSTR-1,2 & 3 and if there is excess tax payable then the same will have to be paid with interest before filing GSTR-3 due in September.
7) If your input credits are more than your output in GSTR-3B then you need not pay any taxes before filing this return. However, it is to be noted that no refund can be claimed in form GSTR-3B and excess credit will be credited to the ITC Ledger.
8) A very important point to remember about filing GSTR-3B is that the transitional credits available from the previous VAT/Service Tax/Excise regimes will not be available for credit and use in GSTR-3B. Any such credits have to be shown by filing form TRAN-1 and will be available for use only after filing TRAN-1.
9) GSTR-3B is a simplified return where only total figures of purchases, sales input tax credits and payments are to be entered. Individual entries for each sale invoice are not to be entered in this return.
10) GSTR-3B is to be filed from the period from which the registration is taken by the supplier. Therefore, if you have taken registration in the month of August’2017 the option for filing GSTR-3B for July’2017 will not be available and the no GSTR-3B is to be filed for July’2017.
11) GSTR-3B is to be filed through online mode on the GST Portal gst.gov.in
12) Following details are to be shown in the return GSTR-3B.

f) Details of payment of tax, which includes Category wise tax payable, ITC availed , TDS credit and Tax paid in cash along with interest and late fees (Though it is not applicable for initial 2 return)
g) Summary of tax category wise TDS/TCS credit
13) Remember the order for set-off eligible ITC. ITC of IGST, CGST and SGST must be set-off from themselves (intra-head) first before being set-off inter-head. Remember that GST and SGST cannot be set-off against each other.
14) Any amounts to be paid on reverse charges have also be shown and paid in GSTR-3B also. Please remember that amount payable under reverse charges will not be available to be paid by utilising input credit. Amount payable on reverse charges will have to paid by cash.
15) GSTR-3B can be submitted through digital signatures or Electronic verification code except for Companies where it has to be filed by digital signatures.

*FAQs on GSTR-3B*
*Q-1. Why am I supposed to fill GSTR-3B.?*
A- GSTR-3B has to be filed in lieu of GSTR3 when notified. Here it has been notified as of now that GTSR3B has to be filed for the month of July and August. GSTR3B has to be most probably filed in those cases where GSTR3 cannot be filed.
*Q-2. In the previous answer it is mentioned GSTR-3B has to be filed where GSTR3 cannot be filed, what does that mean?*
A- In month of July and August GSTR1 and GSTR2 are not to be filed and thus GSTR3 will not be formed because it is the auto-populated form and thus GSTR-3B comes into scenario.
*Q-3. In what manner data has to be provided in GSTR3B?*
A- Data in GSTR-3B has to be provided in a consolidated manner i.e. the consolidated amount in respect of information aksed has to be furnished. Invoice wise information has not to be furnished. So, taxpayer will be required to consolidate their sales and purchase data for the month for the purpose of filing GSTR-3B.
*Q-4. Is GSTR-3B the only return which has to be filed for the month of July and August?*
A- No, GSTR1, GSTR2 and GSTR3 for the month of July and August has to be filed in september. GSTR3B is the consolidated return form being filed for temporary purpose and proper returns has to be filed for both the months.
*Q-5. There is no field for credit note, debit note, advances received etc. then how the data regarding that has to be filled?*
A- In GSTR-3B data has to be filed as net amount i.e. Value of Taxable Supplies = Value of invoices + value of Debit Notes – value of credit notes + value of advances received for which invoices have not been issued in the same month – value of advances adjusted against invoices.
So, suppose if any invoice is issued and further in respect of that invoice other documents like credit note, debit note etc. are issued then the impact of those further issued documents has to be adjusted against the amount of invoice and net amount has to be uploaded.
*Q-6. There is amendment in any invoice, how will it be shown?*
A- As per instruction in regard to GSTR-3B any amendment in invoice issued has to be adjusted against the invoice amount and the net adjusted amount has to be shown and no amendment will be shown separately.
