Types of Returns under GST

A Return is a statutory document which a liable taxpayer is required to file once in a year or periodically throughout the year or both, with the tax administrative authorities, showing the details of the sales and purchases along with the tax collected and paid. A GST Return is the return filed as per the GST law of India. This webpage offers information about the types of returns under gst applicable to various categories of taxpayers.

Here, it must be noted that every individual or economic entity which is registered under GST is essentially required to file one or more gst returns in the year, which could be monthly returns, or quarterly returns, or yearly return. Again, the payment of due taxes must be made in advance well before filing the returns, for the returns to be valid. Again, the Return Forms and the timelines for filing the GST returns differ for different categories of liable taxpayers. Lastly, a nil return is to be filed even if there were no business activities done during the return period. Broadly, the main returns to be filed by different categories of GST Taxpayers, are the following (leaving the auto-populated or auto-generated details/returns)
