Due Date for July GST Return
The due date for July GST return has been extended again to provide more time for taxpayers and streamline the GST portal. The new due date for July GST return (GSTR1) is 10th October 2017. If the business has a turnover of more than Rs.100 crores, the due date for filing the GSTR1 return is 3rd October 2017. The GSTR2 return for July will be due on 31st October 2017 and the GSTR3 return for July will be on 10th November 2017.
The due date for August and September 2017 GST return will be notified by the GST Council at a later date. Hence, there are no deadlines currently set for the August and September 2017 GST returns.
GSTR3B Due Date
In the GST Council Meeting held on 9th September, it has been mentioned that businesses will be required to file GSTR3B return from July to December. Hence, though the due date for filing of GSTR1, GSTR2 and GSTR3 return is being extended, the deadline for filing of GSTR3B returns on the 20th of every month is set to continue.
GSTR4 Due Date
GSTR4 return must be filed by taxpayers registered under the GST composition scheme. The due date for filing GSTR4 is 18th of October for the months of July to September. Hence, no changes have been announced for the due date of filing GSTR4 return.
However, in the GSTR4 return due on 18th September GSTR4A is not required. Hence, the GSTR4 return due on 18th October 2017 is expected to be a simpler return.
GSTR6 Due Date
GSTR6 return must be filed monthly by persons registered as an Input Service Distributor. The due date for filing GSTR6 for the month of July has been fixed at 13th October 2017.
