Due Date For Filing 2018-19 Annual GST Returns Extended Till December 31

The government on Saturday extended the due date for furnishing annual GST or goods and services tax returns for financial year 2018-19 by two months. The new deadline is December 31, instead of October 31. This is applicable to businesses filing annual returns as well as audit reports for the year to March 31, 2019. Earlier, the taxman had extended the due date by a month till October 31. Now, businesses can file the annual return, using Form GSTR-9, and the reconciliation statement, Form GSTR-9C, for financial year 2018-19 by December 31.

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) said the government has been receiving a number of representations on the need to extend the due date, on account of obstruction to business due to COVID-19-related restrictions.

Form GSTR 9 is used by registered taxpayers to file a GST return every year. The return contains details on inward and outward supplies under different heads.

Form GSTR-9C comprises a statement of reconciliation, matching details provided in a GSTR-9 return with the audited annual financial statements.

Currently, GST assessees with aggregate annual turnover of more than ₹ 2 crore have to furnish annual returns mandatorily. Only by registered GST assesses with aggregate annual turnover of more than ₹ 5 corer are required to file the reconciliation statement (GSTR-9C).

Government extends due date for GSTR-9 and GSTR 9C till October 31

The Government on Wednesday extended the due date to file GSTR9 and 9C for 2018-19 by a month.

“After obtaining due clearances from the Election Commission in view of the Model Code of Conduct, Government has extended due date for furnishing Annual Return in GSTR-9 and GSTR 9C for 2018-19 from 30.09.2020 to 31.10.2020,” said a tweet from Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC).


“With the GST annual compliance date coinciding with implementation of e-invoicing, the industry had given up hope on meeting both the statutory deadlines. Though announced at the last moment, still the deferment is likely to bring some respite to the industry,” said Harpreet Singh, Partner,  in India.

Earlier the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has written to the GST Council seeking deferment of 2018-19 GST annual return filing deadline by three months till December 31. The government had in May extended the last date for filing annual GST return for financial year 2018-19 by three months till September 2020.

CBIC extends due date for Filing GST Annual Return

CBIC extends due date for Filing GST Annual Return

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs ( CBIC ) has extended the due date for filing GSTR-9 (Annual Return) for the Financial Year 2018 – 19 to be extended till the 30th of September, 2020.

The GST Council, in its 39th meeting, had extended the due date for filing GSTR-9 (Annual Return) and GSTR-9C (Reconciliation Statement) for the Financial Year 2018 – 19 to 30th June 2020.

GSTR 9 is an annual return to be filed yearly by taxpayers registered under GST. It consists of details regarding the outward and inward supplies made/received during the relevant previous year under different tax heads i.e. CGST, SGST & IGST, and HSN codes. It is a consolidation of all the monthly/quarterly returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-2A, GSTR-3B) filed in that year. Though complex, this return helps in extensive reconciliation of data for 100% transparent disclosures.

The late fees for not filing the GSTR 9 within the due date is Rs 100 per day, per act. That means late fees of Rs 100 under CGST and Rs 100 under SGST will be applicable in case of delay. Thus, the total liability is Rs 200 per day of default. This is subject to a maximum of 0.25% of the taxpayer’s turnover in the relevant state or union territory. However, there is no late fee on IGST yet.

GSTR-9, GSTR-9C gets simplified further, submission dates extended

GSTR-9, GSTR-9C gets simplified further, submission dates extended

The Government has to extend the due dates of filing of Form GSTR-9 (Annual Return) and Form GSTR-9C (Reconciliation Statement) for Financial Year 2017-18 to December 31, 2019 and for Financial Year 2018-19 to March 31, 2020.

It has also decided to simplify these forms by making various fields of these forms as optional.

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBIC) on Thursday notified the amendments regarding the simplification of GSTR-9 (Annual Return) and GSTR-9C (Reconciliation Statement) which inter-alia allow the taxpayers to not to provide split of input tax credit availed on inputs, input services and capital goods and to not to provide HSN level information of outputs or inputs, etc. for the financial year 2017-18 and 2018-19.

CBIC expects that with these changes and the extension of deadlines, all the GST taxpayers would be able to file their Annual Returns along with Reconciliation Statement for the financial years 2017-18 and 2018-19 in time.

“Since the returns were not simplified, the extension is not a surprise. However, frequent extensions and delay in non-simplification has been a let down for businesses. Our sense is that businesses are ready to comply with GSTR-9 so they can move on and prepare for the new simplified return filing system,” said Archit Gupta .

Earlier the last date for filing of GSTR-9 and GSTR-9C for Financial Year 2017-18 was November 30, while that for Financial Year 2018-19 was December 31.
