As a business owner, it is important to stay up-to-date with the latest regulations and deadlines related to taxes. One such deadline is the due date for filing GSTR-1, a return that is used to report outward supplies or sales made by businesses registered under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system in India. In this blog, we will discuss the GSTR-1 due date and everything you need to know about it.

GSTR 1 is a monthly return form that is filed by registered taxpayers under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime. The due date for filing GSTR 1 is the 11th day of the succeeding month for taxpayers who file it monthly. For taxpayers who file quarterly returns, the due date is the 13th day of the month succeeding the end of every quarter.

The GSTR 1 form contains details of all outward supplies made by the taxpayer during the relevant tax period. This includes information such as the invoice number, date, value, and tax rate of each supply. The taxpayer must also furnish details of any input tax credit (ITC) claimed during the period.

Filing of GSTR 1 is mandatory for all registered taxpayers, except for those who are exempted from GST registration. Failure to file GSTR 1 on time can result in penalties, such as late fees and interest.
