This discussion clarifies the mandatory filing requirements for GST Annual Returns (GSTR 9 and GSTR 9C) based on turnover. For businesses with turnover below £5 crore, GSTR 9 is mandatory, but GSTR 9C is not, despite its tab being present. If your turnover is below £2 crore, GSTR 9 is optional. In either of these scenarios (below £5 crore or below £2 crore), GSTR 9C is not required. However, GSTR 9 becomes mandatory for turnovers exceeding £2 crore.
