2. In the state of nil liability late fees for delayed filing of GSTR-3B is Rs 10 (CGST) and Rs 10 (SGST) i.e Total Rs 20 per day.
3. The enrolled person who abandoned to furnish the return in FORM GSTR-3B for the months of July 2017 to January 2020, within the issued date and furnishes the said return between the period from 01st day of July 2020 to 30th day of September 2020.” than the late fee payable for the same are:
| Particulars | Late fee payable |
|---|---|
| In the case of Nil liability | Nil |
| In case any tax payable | Maximum cap of Rs 250 (CGST) and Rs 250 (SGST) that Rs 500 per return |
4. The individual in point 3 cannot avail of Input Tax Credit for the years 2017-18, 2018-19 as the time limit for availing of ITC for both years has lapsed which points that the whole tax needs to be paid in cash.
Registered GST Taxpayers who failed to pay taxes on or before the due rescheduled date will have to pay an additional late fee amount at 9% per annum, the levied 9% interest is just half of the current Intrest rate which was 18%.
For example, If you get failed to pay your taxes on or before the due date, you will have to pay an additional 1000*09/100*1/365 = Rs. 0.24 per day without relaxation at 18% it was 1000*18/100*1/365 = Rs. 0.49 per day as the late fee, Intrest, or penalty.
- Rs. 1000 is the tax liability amount
- 1 is the number of delayed days and
- 18 is the rate of interest (annual).
For more details on GST interest late fees and penalties, you can visit Here
However, if the taxpayer failed to file his/her return within the due dates stated above then he will be liable to pay a late fee of Rs. 50/day i.e.(Rs. 25 per day in CGST and Rs. 25 per day in SGST) if applicable and additionally Rs. 20 per day i.e. Rs. 10/day in each CGST and SGST in case of Nil tax liability. The interest can go at a maximum of Rs. 5000/-, calculated from the due date till the date of returns filed.
The Central Government and the GST council thought about the pressure on the taxpayers and offered some relief, the first one is by reducing the Intrest rate to half and removing the late fees on GSTR 3B filing for the month of August and September. We would also like to inform you that if the taxpayers already paid the late fees, then the paid amount will be credited back to the taxpayers’ ledger.
