It is CBIC which has released the proposed format for the new GST Returns, named Normal, Sahaj and Sugam. The new simplified GST Forms would be mandatory from 1st July 2019 onwards.
As per this format, taxpayers having a yearly turnover of up to Rs. 5 Crores and those who have opted for quarterly returns are free to choose any of the quarterly returns i.e. Sahaj, Sugam or Normal Quarterly Return to file them up.
A more simplified set of return forms was a major point of discussions across all recent GST Council meetings. The same was reported by us on many occasions. We are now also informed that the new layouts for GST Return Forms have now been approved by the Central Government and the GST Council. These new set of GST return forms would be effective from FY 2019 (July 1, 2019). Here are a few key changes that will be part of new GST Return Forms:
Income Tax Department comes forward with two new GST return filing Form called SAHAJ and SUGAM. The mission of releasing both forms is to make the filing income tax return easier and hassle-free for the income taxpayers. IT Department claim that both GST return forms are simple and taxpayer friendly.
In addition, taxpayers with no input tax credit, no output tax liability and no purchases to consider in any respective quarter of the year will have to furnish ‘Nil return‘ in the quarter.
