3. Due date for filling Annual Return

As per Section 44(2) of CGST Act, Every Taxable person shall file annual return in FORM GSTR-9 for every financial year electronically on or
before 31st December following the end of such financial year. However this provision shall not apply to,

Input Service Distributor

A casual taxable person
Non resident taxable person

NOTE: For Instance, For Financial year 2017-18, the due date for filing GSTR-9 is 30th June 2019. However for the FY 18-19 Annual return must
be filed on or before 31st December 2019.

NOTE: In case a person opted to pay tax under composition scheme, then he shall furnish annual return in FORM GSTR-9A.

4. Different types of Annual Return under GST

There are 4 types of Annual Return:

1. GSTR-9 : It should be filed by the Regular Taxpayers filing GSTR-1 & GSTR-3B.

2. GSTR-9A: It should be filed by Persons opted to pay tax under Composition Scheme.

3. GSTR-9B: It should be filed by the e-Commerce operators who have filed GSTR-8 during the year.

4. GSTR-9C: It should be filed the taxpayers whose annual turnover exceeds 2 crores during the financial year. All such taxpayers are
also required to get their accounts audited & file a copy of audited annual accounts and Reconciliation statement of tax already paid and
tax payable as per audited accounts along with GSTR-9C.

5. Penalty for Late filling of Annual Return under GST

As per Section 47(2) of CGST Act 2017, Any Registered person who fails to furnish annual return, as required under section 44, by the due date
shall be liable to pay a late fee of Rs.100 per act (SGST Act & CGST Act) for every day during which such failure continues subject to a maximum
of an amount calculated at a quarter per cent. of his turnover in the state or union territory.

Thus it is Rs.100 under CGST Act and Rs. 100 under SGST Act, the total penalty is Rs.200 per day of default. There is no late fee on IGST .

6. Broad Overview of GSTR -9

GSTR -9 is devided into 6 Parts and 19 Tables

Part-I : This part asks for basic details, such as the Financial year, GSTIN, Legal and Trade names. These details will be auto-populated
in the form. ( From Table 1 to Table 3A).

Table 5).

Part-III : This is where taxpayer provide the details of Input Tax Credit (ITC) as declared in returns filed during the financial year. Part III also
asks for details of the ITC reversed and Ineligible ITC as declared in Individual returns. ( From Table 6A to Table 8A).
Part-IV : Here, Taxpayers will input details of taxes paid as declared in returns filed previously during the fiscal year. (Table 9).
Part-V : This part asks for transaction particulars of the previous fiscal year, declared in returns from April to September of the current
fiscal year, or up to the date of annual returns of the previous fiscal year were filed, whichever is earlier. Additional or omitted entries
belonging to the previous fiscal year, but reported in current fiscal year, would be declared here as well. ( From Table 10 to Table 14)
Part-VI : Taxpayers will report other information here. This could include Demand & Refund details; supplies received from composition tax

8. How to prepare GSTR-9?

The declaration of the information in Annual Return has multiple implications. Any incorrect information can attract tax demands, interests and
penalties on the same. The principle source for preparing GSTR 9 will be GSTR 1 and GSTR 3B returns. All the information must be cross
checked with the books of accounts before declaring in the annual returns.

Broadly, the form entails the declaration of annual sales, bifurcating it between the cases subject to tax and cases not subject to tax. On the
Purchase side the annual value of inward supplies and ITC availed thereon, classified as inputs, input services and capital goods and the ITC to
be reversed due to Ineligibility.
