• How to file GST returns for URD period

I am a hotelier. I had not applied for registration under GST on 1-7-2017. Now I applied for registration but it has been granted prospectively. How do I file returns for the URD period
Asked 6 years ago in GST

Why do you need to file return for period when you were not registered.

Ideally you would not have charged any GST in that period. If you have charged, then you can include all those sales in your first GST return.

Dear Client

Thanks for Writing Us

Registration will be valid from the date on which you become liable to register if you applied with 30 days from when you was liable. i.e if you crossed your sales from 20 Lac on 7 June 2018 and applied before 7 July then your registration will be valid from 7 June 2018 only, Hence your registration could be valid maximum by 30 days prior to date of registration.

So if you applied with in 30 days you can claim input credit of all the stock lying on the day immediately preceding the date from which you become liable.

Conclusion: for URD period you can claim input credit on stock lying with you, and you are required to pay tax from the date of registration.

Dear Sir,

You are required to file GST returns from the month in which the registration certificate is issued. Please check the date on registration certificate under the column Date of liability.

Supplier needs to apply for GST registration within 30 days from the date of liability otherwise date of issue of certificate will be date of liability.

From which date you started collecting GST from the customers.

Thanks

Hi

Please clarify as to why do you want to file returns for the URD period. Were you liable to register under GST but registered late? Was GST charged from customers during URD period?

Why do you need to file for the URD period? You are supposed to file returns from the date of registration. However if you have collected any GST prior to that you can submit the same along with your first return that you file.

I understand your hardship. But you come under purview of law only after registration.

You can only pay GST if your GST officer asks you to file return stating that he feels tax has got evaded.
