GST was implemented on July 1, 2017, replacing multiple indirect taxes levied by the central and state governments. Under GST, every registered taxpayer is required to file their returns and comply with the various rules and regulations set by the government. Two essential returns that taxpayers must file under GST.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us first have some basic understanding of both of these Returns in detail so that we could have a better understanding of the reason as to why the reporting of GSTR has been changed from optional to mandatory in the financial year 2021-22.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what\"><b>What is GSTR 9?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GSTR 9 is an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalwindow.in\/gst-annual-return\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">annual return<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that must be filed by all regular taxpayers registered under GST.

It is a consolidation of all the monthly or quarterly returns that the taxpayer has filed during the financial year. GSTR 9 contains details of sales, purchases, and tax paid during the year. The form is divided into six parts, each requiring specific information related to the taxpayer&#8217;s business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Who needs to file GSTR 9?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every taxpayer registered under GST, except for those registered under the composition scheme, must file GSTR 9.

The government also emphasized that the taxpayers should file their returns on time and avoids any last-minute rush.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reporting of GSTR 9 and 9C was optional in the previous financial year, i.e., 2020-21.

This will require businesses to invest in robust accounting and record-keeping systems to ensure compliance with the GST regime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, the mandatory reporting of GSTR 9 and 9C will increase the workload for businesses, especially those with a turnover of over Rs. 2 crore.
