Penalty For Filing Late Returns
Late filing of GST Returns:
Return filing is mandatory under GST. Even if there is no transaction, you must file a Nil return.
- You cannot file a new return if you do not file previous month/quarter’s return.
- Hence, late filing of GST return will have a cascade effect leading to heavy fines and penalty.
- The late filing fee of the GSTR-1 is populated in the liability ledger of GSTR-3B filed immediately following such delay.
Interest/late fees to be paid:
Interest is charged at 18% per annum. This interest is calculated by the registered taxpayer on the amount of tax liability outstanding.
In case, a taxpayer fails to furnish the details relating to outward supplies, a penalty is imposed for the same. The fine amounts to a sum of Rs 200 (Rs 100 for CGST and Rs 100 for SGST) for each day of continuing default. The maximum is Rs. 5,000. But, there is no late fee for IGST
As per GST Act Late fee is Rs. 100 per day per Act. So it is 100 under CGST & 100 under SGST. Total will be Rs. 200/day.
Must note the reduced late fee applicable as follows:
| Governing Act | Late fee per day – GSTR 3B / GST CMP - 08 | Nil GSTR – 3B / GST CMP - 08 | Annual return |
|---|---|---|---|
| CGST Act | 25 | 10 | 100 |
| SGST Act | 25 | 10 | 100 |
| Total | 50 | 20 | 200 |
For all returns except annual return, maximum late fee is Rs.5,000. For annual returns, maximum late fee is 0.25% of taxpayer’s turnover in the relevant state or union territory.
