Annual return.

As per Notification No. 19/2016-

1.  Every assessee shall submit an annual return for the financial year to which the return relates, in such form and manner as may be specified in the notification in the Official Gazette by the Central Board of Excise and Customs, by the 30th day of November of the succeeding financial year;
2.   The Central Government may, subject to such conditions or limitations, specify by notification an assessee or class of assesses who may not be required to submit the annual return.
3. An assessee who has filed the annual return by the due date may submit a revised return within a period of one month from the date of submission of the said annual return.’’
4.  Where the annual return is filed by the assessee after the due date, the assessee shall pay to the credit of the Central Government, an amount calculated at the rate of one hundred rupees per day for the period of delay in filing of such return, subject to a maximum of twenty thousand rupees.

Exemption from Annual Return filing is to be notified by Department.

Every assessee shall file an annual return in prescribed form.Assessee, who has paid duty of excise < RS. 1CR during the financial year is exempted from filing the said statement in Form ER-4 that is required to be filed latest by 30th November of the succeeding year. Accordingly, it may be hoped that similar exemption is provided to service tax assessees based on the quantum of service tax paid in a financial year. However, as the small scale exemption limit in excise is much higher than that prevalent in service tax, there is possibility that the limit of service tax payment may be specified on lower side. The last date for filing of annual return is 30th November of the succeeding financial year with the option to revise the return within one month from the date of filing of original return.

Rules came into force on the 1st day of April, 2016.

This notification is applicable from 1st April 2016. Hence assessee has to file the annual return for the financial year 2015-2016 also. So Due date is 30th Nov 2016
