GST Return Filing

Overview of GST Return Filing

Filing returns under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime is a crucial compliance responsibility for every registered business in India. Each GST return captures comprehensive details of sales, purchases, taxes paid, and input tax credit (ITC) claimed during a tax period.
Accurate and timely filings not only ensure compliance with the GST Act, 2017 but also help businesses maintain smooth ITC flow, prevent penalties, and build a solid tax compliance record.

At Agarwal Avinash & Co, we streamline your complete GST filing process-from data collection and reconciliation to submission and reporting-ensuring consistent accuracy and compliance for your business.

Who Should File GST Returns

Every registered taxpayer under GST is required to file periodic returns, whether or not any transaction occurred during the period. This includes:

  • Private and Public Limited Companies
  • Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs)
  • Partnership Firms and Proprietorships
  • Freelancers and Professionals
  • E-commerce Operators
  • Exporters, Importers, and Service Providers

Even if your business had no transactions in a particular month, filing a Nil Return is mandatory to avoid penalties or cancellation of registration.
