Interest on Late Payment of GST

According to the GST Penalty regulations, interest will be charged at the rate of 18 percent per annum from the taxpayers who fail to pay their taxes on time. The interest will be levied for the days after the due date.

Check the example below to understand it better: Suppose your tax liability is Rs. 2,000 and you have not paid tax on time for a given month. Now, if you pay tax after one day from the due date, your interest will be calculated as 2000*18/100*1/365 = Rs. 0.98 Per day. If you delay more than that, you’ll have to pay an interest of the same amount per day. Check out the document attached below (chapter 10, point 50) for more details.

    General Queries on GST Payment

    Q.1 – What do you mean by the GST late fee and interest rate?

    In context to the late fees, the non-payment of the late payment poses an interest. The total penalty burden surges through 18% per year as interest. An assessee is subjected to the same burden during the complete time of furnishing the taxes. The fees and the interest gets computed from the last date to the date of filing.

    Q.2 – What shall be the result if the assessee does not furnish the GST Return?

    The assessee who holds the GST enrolled number is required to furnish the GST return. If someone loses to furnish the GST return then a late fee will get imposed on the daily grounds. One shall not be enabled to furnish the ITR for the subsequent month if he or she does not or fails to furnish the GSTR for the current month. Apart from all these compliances an amount of Rs 50 shall be imposed every day as a late fee. Rs 5000 will be the highest amount that could be obtained as a late fee if the assessee losses to furnish his GST return.

    Q.3 – As a taxpayer I do not have any amount to file as a GST return, Could I furnish my GSTR?

    Yes, one is enabled to furnish the GST return. The filing is adjusted as a NIL return. There might be two cases to furnish the GSTR with no tax. In the first case, there shall have no buyings and no sale in that specific year hence no transaction is there. Thus one can furnish the NIL transaction return. In the other case, the goods and services have been purchased by you but no sale has been performed. Hence you have furnished the GST during the purchase thus you need to furnish the GSTR-3B and avail of the ITC.

    Q.4 – What is the method to compute the late fees for the GST payment?

    Rs 100 shall be imposed by CGST and Rs 100 by SGST post to the last date of furnishing of the GST return. Hence a total of Rs 200 per day shall be levied through the tax council against the taxpayer. For instance, if the assessee losses to furnish the return due on the date 15th August and do not furnish the same till 9th September then the late fees shall be computed as:

    • 25 days * 200 = INR 5000 of late fees

    Q.5 – Is there any interest imposed on the late fees with respect to the payment of GSTR?

    GST penalty laws verified that each assessee who losses the last date to furnish the taxes needs to file the interest with 18% per annum as late fees. Hence if the individual due for the GST return is Rs 2500 and he or she files it after 3 days of the last date then the interest need to pay as a late fee on the tax shall be computed as:

    • 2500*18/100*3/365 = Rs. 3.7 of interest on late fees

    The interest amount gets computed towards the duration between the actual last date of paying the tax and the date on which the return was furnished.

    Q.6 – Is it important to furnish the GST as a NIL transaction?

    If you own a GST registration number then truly it is essential for a taxpayer that he furnish the GSTR. If you pose no buyings or sale transaction then you are required to furnish the NIL GSTR. if you do not furnish the GST return, then late fees shall get imposed. Beneath the CGST act Rs 25 will be imposed as well as Rs 25 shall get charged under the SGST act on a per-day basis. On the same penalty amount, 18% interest per annum will be imposed.

    Q.7 – Can late fees on GST be avoided?

    In some of the cases, GST late fees shall get avoided but if it does not then it should be furnished prior to the furnishing of the taxes

    26. Hello Sir,

      I received my GST number in the month of July 18, but I didn’t file returns until Sept 18. So early Oct 18, I did file my return and paid a late fee of Rs 490 each for CGST and SGST for July and August 18. Now I’m trying to file returns for Sept for which due date for filing return is 20/10/2018 but still, the late fee of Rs 1100 is generated for both CGST and SGST. Is this right or I’m filing incorrectly.

      1. Rs. 1100 fees generated is for the month of July 2018 or aug, 2018 which may be not included in the return of July but late fees sometimes are carried forward in next period return. Therefore, late fees appearing in sept month return is carried forward late fees of earlier month

    27. SIR,

      We are not paying GST Amount from Nov 2017 to till now. so, now we will pay the tax amount from Nov month 2017.
      but, our question is: 1) how to calculate late fee and penalty?

      1. In case of late filing of the return late fees to be paid as Rs.20/- for CGST and Rs.20/- for SGST from the due date of filing of return till the date of filing of return subject to maximum Rs. 5000/-.

          Today we are going to file the return a month of Nov 2017. The Tax amount is RS.20,490/- for CGST and RS.20,490/- SGST.

          My question is: How much the penalty of the above amount?

            1. Yes, sir,

              We paid the return Rs.5000 each for CGST and SGST.

              Our one more question is: we file the return of nov that penalty amount is eligible for 3 months?
              ** we pay the penalty of nov months and we file the return to file the month of Dec, Jan that month we are not paying penalty?

    28. I have registered for GST on Sep 2017 but due to some issues, I didn’t start my business. I didn’t file 3b also till date now what I should do now because I don’t even have any business now.

    29. Sir, We have filed GSTR 3B every month on time. But We have not shown RCM on renting of immovable property from July 2017 to September 2017 & not paid. Now if We have to pay RCM then what is the procedure and can we show this in the august 2017 gstr 3b

    30. sir mera sale purchase last 7 month se ho raha hai lekin maine 7 month se gst file nahi kiya hai to kya har month 5000 late fee lagega

      1. In the case of non-filing of GST return late fee of Rs. 20/-, 10 in CGST and 10 in SGST per day need to be provided which shall be maximum 5000/-. In any case, late fees shall not exceed Rs. 5000/- for an entire financial year.

        1. I have registered for GST on Sep 2017 but due to some issues, I didn’t start my business. I didn’t file 3b also till date now please explain the penalty.

          20*365 days=7300
          20*364 days=7280
          20*363 days=7260 type this or
          or
          20*30 days 600Rs

          1. The penalty is calculated as Rs. 10/- per day in CGST and Rs.10/- per day in SGST from the due date of filing the return till the date return is filed in case of nil return. For example for sept 2017 3b due date id 20 oct, 20177.No. of days shall be from 21st Oct 2017 to date of filing say 17.12.2018 i.e. 423 days.

    31. Dear Sir,

      I paid GST on GTA services (on reverse charge basis) till Dec 17. After which and till date I have not paid any GST on the GTA services and neither showed them in my returns, due to ignorance that Reverse charge has been postponed till 30th June ’18.

      So my question is:

      1) How can this be rectified?
      2) Can I show the previous liabilities in the current month, and pay the tax.
      3) Do I need to pay any interest for the same? If yes, then what will be the percentage?
      4) Can I claim the ITC after payment of tax?

      1. (1) Yes, this can be rectified in current or subsequent months.
        (2) Yes, you can show the same and pay tax on reverse charge basis in cash
        (3) Interest to be paid @ 18% from the due date of payment till the date of actual payment
        (4) Yes. ITC can be claimed after payment

    32. I would like to know what is NiL Return.

      A: I do not have any Purchases or Sales – It is nil Return and attract Rs. Per Day Late fee if filed after the due date
      B: I do not have any Purchases But no Sales – It is nil Return. What will be late Fee
      C: I have purchased and Sales but no CGST / SGST / IGST liability. What will be a Late fee or will it be called as mention in your text “(in case of Nil tax liability)”
      D: I have Purchases and paid CGST / SGST / IGST but my whole sales are on IGST and no TAX liability to pay as I pay more on purchases and collect less on IGST. So will it be called as Nil Tax and need to pay Late fee Rs. 50/- or Rs. 20 per day

      Your text stated as Rs. 20/day i.e. Rs. 10/- day in each CGST and SGST (in case of Nil tax liability)
      Please reply

      1. A. In case there is no sales and purchases it is considered as Nil return and late fee shall be Rs 10/- each in CGST and SGST.
        B. In case there are purchases it is not Nil return and late fee shall be Rs. 25 each in CGST and SGST.
        C. In this case, it is not Nil return and late shall be the same as stated above Rs. 25/-
        D. This not Nil return and late fee shall be Rs. 25/-.
        Nil return is that when there is no purchases and sales means ni data in any table of GSTR-3B
