GSTR-10 Return Filing

GSTR-10 is a final return that businesses need to file when their GST registration is cancelled or surrendered. It serves to inform the tax authorities about the closure of the GSTIN registration and the deregistration of the taxpayer. This return must be filed within three months of the cancellation or surrender of registration.

What is GSTR-10?

GSTR-10 is a return filed by taxpayers who have cancelled or surrendered their GST registration. It is also referred to as the “Final Return.” This document contains key information such as the GSTIN of the taxpayer, the date of cancellation, and the reason for deregistration.

Who Needs to File GSTR-10?

Taxpayers whose GST registration has been cancelled or surrendered are required to file GSTR-10. Even if no business activities have been carried out between the cancellation and the filing of GSTR-10, filing remains mandatory.

Documents Required to File GSTR-10

To file GSTR-10, the following documents and details are required:

  1. Basic Details: Name, address, and GSTIN of the taxpayer.
  2. Input Tax Credit (ITC) Details: Information about ITC availed on goods and services in possession at the time of cancellation.
  3. ARN of GST Registration Surrender Application: The ARN generated when submitting the GST registration surrender application.
  4. Cancellation Order Details: Unique ID of the cancellation order and the cancellation letter issued by the GST department.
  5. Stock Details: Information about any stock in possession, including inputs, semi-finished goods, and finished goods.
  6. GST Liability: Amount of GST liability on the stock held, along with payment challans if applicable.
  7. Bank Account Details: For any refunds due.
  8. Other Supporting Documents: Any additional documents requested by the GST department.

    Time Frame for Filing GSTR-10

    GSTR-10 must be filed within three months (90 days) of the cancellation or surrender of GST registration. Failure to do so can result in a penalty. If the cancellation was due to a tax authority order, GSTR-10 cannot be filed, and GSTR-11 must be submitted instead.

    Late Fees for GSTR-10 Filing

    If GSTR-10 is not filed on time, a late fee of Rs.100 for CGST and Rs.100 for SGST per day is applicable, up to a maximum of 0.25% of the taxpayer’s turnover.

    Advantages of Filing GSTR-10
    1. Compliance: Filing GSTR-10 ensures compliance with GST laws and avoids penalties.
    2. Avoiding Interest and Penalties: Timely filing helps in avoiding interest and penalties.
    3. Closure of Registration: It facilitates the formal closure of GST registration and ensures no future liabilities.
    4. Claiming ITC: GSTR-10 allows taxpayers to claim any unclaimed or reversed input tax credit before deregistration.
