Such individuals can also opt for monthly returns if they wish to do so once during a year when the financial quarter begins.<\/p>\n<p>Quarterly returns are a welcome break for small business owners from the monthly return norms. The return procedure is also significantly simplified. Taking into account the fact that small businesses deal with fewer suppliers, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsthelplineindia.com\/blog\/2018\/07\/21\/gst-council-meeting\/\">GST council<\/a> and the Finance Ministry has given important consolations in new quarterly returns filing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These include :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Missing and pending invoice reporting has been omitted from quarterly returns filing.<\/p>\n<p>Non-GST supplies, exempted supplies, etc. which do not create any liability.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsthelplineindia.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/24\/input-tax-credit-gst\/\">Input tax credit<\/a> on capital goods<\/p>\n<p>Invoices which have not been uploaded by suppliers are termed as missing invoices. Pending invoices refer to those supplies which have not been yet received by the supplier or have been uploaded by the supplier but need correction. Also, invoices on which input tax credit claims have not been made yet by recipients are treated as pending invoices by the tax department. But quarterly return filers will have to furnish details of non-GST supplies, exempt supplies and input tax credit on capital goods in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsthelplineindia.com\/blog\/2018\/05\/10\/gstr-9-annual-return-filing\/\">Annual return<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Recommended:<\/span><\/strong>&nbsp;What are the key features of the Simplified GST monthly returns?<\/p>\n<p>In case the business owner feels the need to report missing and pending invoices they can revert to <strong>monthly return filing<\/strong> at the start of a fresh quarter.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Types_of_GST_Quarterly_Returns\">Types of GST Quarterly Returns<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Quarterly Returns are of three types and taxpayers need to file returns as per that their business. These include:<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Sahaj\">Sahaj<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sahaj Returns are for businesses making purchases only from Indian suppliers and making sales to unregistered persons (B2C) or consumers in India.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Sugam\">Sugam<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sugam Returns are for businesses making purchases only from Indian suppliers and making supplies to both registered businesses as well as consumers or unregistered businesses (B2B + B2C) in India<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Recommended:<\/strong><\/span>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsthelplineindia.com\/blog\/2018\/08\/30\/new-gst-return-form-sahaj-sugam\/\">New Single GST Return Forms and Sahaj-Sugam Schemes from FY 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Quarterly_Return\">Quarterly Return<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The third return form can be filed by business owners or taxpayers whose business activities expand to foreign shores in addition to domestic purchases and supplies.

Taxpayers need to submit a payment declaration form for the same. The payment declaration form will contain all tax liabilities of the business owners depending on the invoices uploaded. On a similar line, based on the uploaded invoices, the taxpayer or business owners will be notified about their ITC ( input tax credit) claims. This will enable taxpayers to pay taxes as well as make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsthelplineindia.com\/blog\/2017\/04\/10\/easy-steps-claim-tax-refund-under-gst\/\">ITC claims on a monthly basis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One important point to note about payment declaration form is that taxpayers or business owners will not be penalized with additional penalties for minor mistakes or errors as it is a declaration form and not a return form.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Quarterly_Returns_but_Monthly_Tax\">Quarterly Returns but Monthly Tax<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Late payment of taxes due for each month will attract interest on the liable tax amount.
