Regular GST Filing Does Not Have to Be a Pain!

Advantages

1. Seamless flow of ITCC

The tax already paid by the supplier is deducted from the liability to pay taxes.If the tax paid and collected transaction is recorded through filing return by both the parties, the Input Tax Credit can be passed on to the buyer and not otherwise. The registered person cannot claim the input credit if the return is not filed on time.

2. A simple and common form of all taxes

The online filing system is simplified under the GST regime which is further proposed to be more simplified through one form of filing for recording all transactions.

3. Score higher compliance rating

To monitor the compliance structure, the GST Network has introduced the mechanism of compliance rating. This is where all the registered persons are provided ratings based on their regularity of fulfilling the compliance and payment of taxes. The ratings are available on the website.

4. Avoid penalty and interest

For delay in filing return, the taxpayer is charged with a late fee of Rs 50 for each day of a delay till the actual date of filing. To avoid such heavy penalties, the return must be filed without any delay.
