In order to provide some relief to taxpayers, the government has come up with the new annual Goods and Services Tax (GST) return forms. The new forms are required to be filed by businesses registered under the GST regime by June 30, 2019.

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has notified form GSTR-9 is the annual return form for normal taxpayers, GSTR-9A is for composition taxpayers and GSTR-9C is a reconciliation statement. In the annual return forms, businesses have to provide consolidated details of sales, purchases and input tax credit (ITC) benefits accrued to them during the 2017-18 fiscal.

Trade and industry bodies had raised several objections on the GST annual return filing forms, which were earlier notified in September last year. Following this, the CBIC has notified the new forms. Initially, the due date for filing the annual return form was set at December 31, 2018. In view of industry concerns, the government then extended the date till March 31, 2019. The GST Council in its recent meeting on December 22, 2018, has decided to extend the due date further to June 30, 2019.
