GST filing mistakes

[Noor]

Facing issues with GST filing and want to avoid penalties.

Typical errors of the GST filing are the matching of GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, the claim of ineligible ITC and application of the wrong HSN. The non-filing of NIL returns or wrong computations of RCM is likely to attract penalties.

Here are some common GST filing mistakes you should avoid:

• Incorrect or mismatched GSTIN details
• Errors in invoice numbers, dates, or values
• Not reconciling GSTR-1 with GSTR-3B
• Claiming ineligible Input Tax Credit (ITC)
• Missing reverse charge mechanism (RCM) entries
• Late filing leading to penalties and interest
• Wrong HSN/SAC codes
• Ignoring amendments or corrections
• Not reporting nil returns when applicable
• Depending only on manual entries without verification

Avoiding these mistakes helps ensure smooth compliance and prevents notices from tax authorities.

Some common the GST errors are mistaken invoice information, late submission, lack of input tax credit matching, and reporting incorrect tax rates or totals.
