GSTR 3B : Only One Return File in August

GSTR 3B : GST Return Filing For July And August 2017

GSTR 3B is a simpler return that businesses need to file in the first two months of GST (July and August, 2017) instead of the normal returns – GSTR 1, 2 and 3.

Under GST, a registered dealer is required to file three returns every month and one annual return. So, in total 37 returns have to be filed every year. Since filling up these complex forms require a great amount of time and understanding, the government has postponed the filing of GSTR 1,2 & 3 for July and August, 2017.

In the place of these monthly returns, GSTR 3B has been introduced.

Deadlines for July and August GST Returns are as follows:

Forms	For July 2017	For August 2017
GSTR 3B	20th August	20th September
GSTR 1	5th September	20th September
GSTR 2	10th September	25th September

You are not required to file GSTR 3 for the months of July and August
