GST stands for Goods and Services Tax, which is a comprehensive indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services.

Businesses with an annual turnover of more than Rs. 20 lakhs are required to register for GST.

There are three main types of GST returns: GSTR-1 (Sales Return), GSTR-2 (Purchase Return), and GSTR-3 (Final Return).

GSTR-1 is due on the 11th of every month for the previous month's sales.

GSTR-2 is due on the 15th of every month for the previous month's purchases.

GSTR-3 is due on the 20th of every month for the previous month's transactions.

Not filing GST returns on time can result in late fees, penalties, and interest.

The penalty for late filing of GST returns is Rs. 200 per day, subject to a maximum of Rs. 5,000.

The interest rate for late payment of GST is 18% per annum.

Taxpayers can revise their GST returns within a certain time period, as specified by the GST department.

The time limit for revising GST returns is 30 days from the date of filing the original return.

The documents required for GST registration include PAN card, Aadhaar card, bank account details, and other supporting documents as specified by the GST department.

Taxpayers can file GST returns both online through the GST portal or offline by submitting the returns physically at the GST office.

The validity period of a GST registration is 1 year, after which it needs to be renewed.

To cancel GST registration, taxpayers can either file an application online through the GST portal or submit a written request to the GST department.
