What is GST Sugam Return?
Sugam return, also known as GST RET-3 is a simplified return for small taxpayers making both B2B as well as B2C supplies. It was initially announced that filing of this form would begin in April of FY 2019-20. But, the government has deferred it until further notice.
Who Can File GSTR Sugam?
GST RET-3 is meant for small taxpayers. You can file Sugam return if you satisfy the following conditions:
Your turnover doesn’t exceed Rs 5 Crore in the last FY.
You are involved in making both B2B as well as B2C supplies.
When Shall You File GST Sugam?
GST RET-3 return will have to be filed quarterly. However, GST must be paid on a monthly basis by the filers.
Contents of GSTR Sugam
Broadly, you can divide this form into two parts:
An annexure
Annexure of Supplies to Return (GSTR-Sugam)
Part 1: Basic Details
This is the first part of annexure. This section will be auto-populated. It will display your basic details like GSTIN, legal name, trade name, etc.
Part 2: Details of Outward Supplies
Here, you will be required to provide details of supplies made to registered persons, consumers and un-registered persons (supplies attracting reverse charge) in terms of taxable value of inward and outward supplies and types of GST and cess paid.
Form GSTR Sugam
GSTR Sugam can be broken down into five parts:
This section is auto-populated and contains the same basic details as reflected in the above-mentioned annexure.
Part 2: Summary of Supplies Made and Tax Liability
This section is also auto-populated based on your inputs in the “Annexure of Supplies”.
Part 3: Summary of Inward Supplies for Claiming ITC
This section is also auto-populated and displays the following information:
Details of ITC on inward supplies
Supplies attracting reverse charge
Supplies other than those attracting reverse charge
Supplies rejected by the recipient
Debit notes received from suppliers
Credit notes issued to customers
Part 4: Interest and Late Fee
In this part of the form, you must enter the details of any interest or late return filing fee that you need to pay for the concerned period. The new filing system will automatically calculate and report any applicable interest and late filing fee. However, if you are liable to pay any other interest, you must report it manually. Tax paid during the first two months of the quarter will be adjusted against the total liability of the quarter.
Part 6: Payment of Tax
You must provide the details of all the types of GST payments and cess payments made for the concerned period in this part of the form.
Part 7: Verification
This is the last section of the form where you shall verify that you have provided the correct information in the form by signing below the given declaration statement.
Input Tax Credit Rules for GST Sugam
Input tax credit availed earlier during the first two months of the quarter will be adjusted from the claim. If the balance of claim turns out to be negative, then it will be added to the liability for the same quarter.
Reversal of credit under rule 37, 39, 42 & 43 must be reported as net of reclaimed ITC if any. Ineligible credit shall also be reported under reversal.
Adjustment in ITC, if any due to transition from the composition scheme or otherwise must be reported in table 4.
New System of Uploading Invoices
The new return filing system will make the process of claiming ITC easy for you. It will allow the supplier to continuously upload the invoices which will auto-populate in his main return. These invoices will be continuously visible to the recipient. This will make the process of claiming ITC easier for the taxpayers.
When Must GST Sugam be Filed?
You will be required to file GST Sugam quarterly.
