Compliances of GST After Registration
A GST Registered trader has a number of introductory compliance to be unfailingly performed and be followed afterwards, until the trade terminates the GST registration. Here, we’re giving you these beginning stages in brief way:
While completing his/her allotted GST duties, the concerned trader should make sure of the following things:
- In case, a trader is making IntraState supply, he/she comes under CGST and SGST liabilities. Else, for InterState supply, IGST should be applicable.
- GST Invoice should be issued for every taxable supplies. Composition dealer should issue bill of supply/exempt supply. A single invoice-cum-bill should be issued for supply of taxable/exempted items to an unregistered person.
- For supply of goods, GST Tax Invoice should be issued during the time of removal of goods. In case of any service, GST Tax Invoice should be issued within 30 days from the service is provided.
- A trader should mention the applicable GST on the item(s) sold in the GST invoice otherwise can be charged with penalties. Every supplier, except for them for whom Reverse Charge under GST is applicable, should issue such invoices to the buyers and deposit the requisite GST Tax in Government’s Account within due date.
- Input Tax Credit (ITC) is claimed based on the GST charged over the purchase of goods/services in the form of CGST and SGST/IGST with applicable rate.
- Composition Dealers are exempted from charging any kind of GSTs from buyers and are not eligible to claim ITC.
- As per the GST law, the registered trader should compulsorily keep accounts/records updated as per the prescribed guidelines, such as, record of at least 72 months per FY from annual return filing due date in GSTR-9/GSTR-9A. Following are the records required to maintain as part of GST liability:
