Penalty for Late Filing of GST Return
GST return filing is mandatory for all persons having GST registration irrespective of turnover or profit. Hence, even persons having no business activity or turnover is a month but having GST registration are required to file GST returns. Regular taxpayers are required to file monthly GST returns, dealers registered under Composition Scheme are required to file quarterly GST returns and non-resident taxable persons are required to file one return every month. In this article, we look at the penalty for late filing of GST return.
Penalty for late filing of GST return
A penalty of Rs.100 per day is applicable for late filing of GST return. The penalty would be payable for the period in which the taxpayer failed to furnish the return up to a maximum penalty of Rs.5000.
If GST return for a month is not filed, then the GST return for the next month cannot be filed by the taxpayer. Further, if a taxpayer fails to file GSTR-1 return on the 10th, then the taxpayer would not be able to file GSTR-2 return on the 15th. Hence, late filing of GST return will have a cascading effect leading to heavy fines and penalty.
Notice for Not Filing GST Return
If a taxpayer fails to furnish GST returns for more than a month or two, a GSTR-3A notice maybe be issued by the GST authorities. On issuing GSTR-3A notice, the taxpayer is provided a period of 15 days to regularise GST return filing by paying any penalty as shown on the GST portal. If the pending GST returns are not filed within 15 days of GSTR-3A notice, then the GST Officer could assess tax liability, fines and penalty based on the information available and make the same payable by the taxpayer.
Hence, on receiving GSTR-3A notice, it is advisable for all GST taxpayers to immediately regularise all GST compliance by paying the applicable penalty.
Know more about notice for not filing GST return, GSTR-3A. A sample GSTR-3A notice is provided below for reference:
Cancellation of GST Registration
If a taxpayer continues to default on filing GST returns, even after receiving notice GSTR-3A, the GST registration can be cancelled. The GST registration of taxpayers who are required to file monthly tax returns can be cancelled if the taxpayer fails to file GST returns continuously for a period of six months.
The GST registration of a composition taxable person can be cancelled if the taxpayer fails to file GST returns for three consecutive tax periods.
On cancellation of a GST registration, the taxpayer would be required to pay GST tax, penalty and fines as assessed by the GST officer immediately. In addition, GST payment must be made equivalent to the credit of input tax in respect of inputs held in stock and inputs contained in semi-finished or finished goods held in stock or capital goods or plant and machinery on the day immediately preceding the date of such cancellation or the output tax payable on such goods, whichever is higher.
Before an order for cancellation of GST is passed, the taxpayer would be provided with an opportunity to be heard or regularise all GST compliance. Hence, GST cancellation order is passed only after issue of notice if Form GST REG-17 as shown below:
Impact on GST Compliance Rating Score
Under GST, all taxpayers will be provided with a compliance rating score based on the track-record of GST return filing, GST payment and other requirements. GST compliance rating score would be published in the public domain or GST portal for all GST taxpayers and can be accessed by anyone. Hence, any business that fails to furnish GST returns or make GST payment on time could be adversely impacted by the GST rating score. Note......
