GSTR 9 - Optional ?

322 views 7 replies
I am registered as normal taxpayer. I am a goods trader. My turnover is 40 lakhs. I have both inter & intra state transactions.
I have filed my GSTR 9 for last two years i.e. 2019-20 & 2020-21 despite not being mandatory.

Now my query is:
For F.Y. 2021-22 do I need to file GSTR 9 as my turnover is less than Rs. 2 crores but i have filed last 2 years GSTR 9 returns.

Thanks & Regards

Better to File
Search for HSN code and file GSTR-9
My turnover in the last 2 years is around 25 lakhs each. Do I still need to fill ?
For last two years I filed just optionally.

Please refer to CBIC's Central Tax notification 10/2022 dated July 5, 2022 exempting registered persons whose AATO was up to Rs.2 crores in F.Y 2021-22, from filing the GSTR-9 return. It is optional in your case.

Cheers!

 

It's optional. So if you have filed for previous fy , it's not mandatory to file for fy 2021-22.

There is no compulsion to file GSTR 9 if your turnover does not exceed 2 crore. Hence, it is okay to not file the return even if you have filed the same in the previous 2 years.

Considering the present situation , file the annual return to avoid communications from GST dept in the future
