GST NEW RETURN

Introduction to New GST Forms:
The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs has released the proposed GST Returns forms. It is expected that the new GST returns forms - Normal, Sahaj and Sugam, shall be made applicable from the second quarter of Financial Year 2019-20 and for the first quarter the existing return forms, i.e., GSTR-3B and GSTR-1 would continue to apply. 
 
Which GST return a tax-payer shall opt for:
Taxpayers who opt to file returns on monthly or quarterly (GST RET-1) basis would be eligible to take credit of missing invoices. However, the credit of missing invoices shall not be available in case taxpayers opts to file Sahaj (GST RET-2) or Sugam (GST RET-3).
 
The taxpayers can switch their returns in the following manner:-
 
♦ From Quarterly (Normal) to Sugam or Sahaj only once in a financial year at the beginning of any quarter
 
♦ From Sugam to Sahaj only once in a financial year at the beginning of any quarter
 
♦ From Sahaj to Quarterly (Normal) or Sugam more than once in a financial year at the beginning of any quarter
