Quick Summary

The GSTR-9 annual return filing for FY 2019-20 has been made optional for small taxpayers with an aggregate turnover of less than £2 crore, provided they haven't already filed it. This confirmation comes via CBIC's Notification No. 77/2020, dated 15th October 2020. This follows previous notifications that made the filing optional for FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19 as well.

Yes you are absolutely right Sir...

Filing of GST Annual Return under section 44 (1) of CGST Act 2017 for F.Y. 2019-20 has been made "OPTIONAL" for Small Taxpayers whose aggregate turnover is less than Rs 2 crores and who have not filed the said return before the due date. The same has also been notified by the Government ( CBIC ) vide "Notification No. 77/2020 - Central Tax, dated 15th October 2020." You can check it in the official website of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs ( CBIC ).

1). The Principal Notification was Notification No. 47/2019 - Central Tax, dated 09th October 2019, which made filing of GSTR-9 OPTIONAL for "FY 2017-18 & FY 2018-19."

2). The new notification i.e. Notification No. 77/2020 - Central Tax, dated 15th October 2020 has made the filing of GSTR-9 OPTIONAL as well for the Small Taxpayers for FY 2019-20.

Therefore, for FY 2017-18, FY 2018-19 & FY 2019-20, filing of FORM GSTR-9 ( Annual Return ) is "OPTIONAL."
