Filing GST returns is not just data entry. A professional CA firm provides reconciliation, error detection, ITC optimisation, and notice management. This article explains what a CA firm actually does when you outsource GST return filing.
Monthly Compliance
- GSTR-1 preparation: Compiling outward supply data, verifying invoice details, and filing.
- GSTR-2B reconciliation: Matching purchase register with GSTR-2B to identify missing or mismatched invoices.
- GSTR-3B filing: Computing net tax liability, offsetting ITC, and filing.
- ITC optimisation: Identifying eligible ITC, blocked credits, and reversals.
Quarterly Compliance
- QRMP filing: For businesses under the Quarterly Return Monthly Payment scheme.
- GSTR-1 quarterly: Filing quarterly outward supply returns.
- PMT-06: Monthly tax payment.
Annual Compliance
- GSTR-9 preparation: Consolidating monthly returns into the annual return.
- GSTR-9C reconciliation: Reconciling books with GST returns.
- Reconciliation statements: Preparing turnover, tax, and ITC reconciliations.
Value Beyond Filing
- Error detection: Identifying reporting errors before they trigger notices.
- Notice management: Responding to scrutiny and demand notices.
- Audit preparation: Maintaining audit-ready records.
- Advisory: Advising on complex transactions.
