Question 1

Which GST returns do I need to file every month?

Accepted Answer

Regular GST registered businesses must file two main monthly returns: GSTR-1 (declaring all outward sales and invoice details by the 11th of the month) and GSTR-3B (summary of sales, input tax credit, and tax payment by the 20th of the month). If you opted for the QRMP scheme, you file quarterly returns with monthly tax challans. Our team automates both filings for you.

Question 2

What happens if I miss the 20th GST filing deadline?

Accepted Answer

Filing after the due date attracts a mandatory statutory late fee of ₹50 per day (₹20 per day for Nil returns) under Section 47, plus 18% per annum interest on net cash tax liability under Section 50. Consecutive defaults also lead to automated blocking of your E-Way Bill generation facility. TaxQue sends proactive reminders and files your returns 3 to 5 days before the cutoff to keep you penalty-free.

Question 3

What is GSTR-2B reconciliation and why is it critical?

Accepted Answer

Under Rule 36(4) of CGST Rules, you can only claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) if your supplier has uploaded the invoice and it reflects in your auto-generated GSTR-2B statement. Claiming unmatched ITC triggers automated Section 88D demand notices. Our software matches your purchase register line-by-line with GSTR-2B to maximize your legitimate tax savings safely.

Question 4

Do I have to file GST returns if I had zero business this month?

Accepted Answer

Yes, filing a 'Nil' return is strictly mandatory even if you had zero sales and zero purchases during the month. Failing to file a Nil return still accumulates a ₹20/day government late fee and blocks your GST portal account. TaxQue manages your Nil filings seamlessly.

Question 5

Who will handle our monthly return preparation at TaxQue?

Accepted Answer

A dedicated GST accountant reviews your monthly sales invoices, purchase bills, and bank statements, which are then audited by a senior Chartered Accountant before submission on the GSTN portal.

Question 6

What is the QRMP scheme and is it suitable for small businesses?

Accepted Answer

The Quarterly Return Monthly Payment (QRMP) scheme allows businesses with turnover up to ₹5 Crore to file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B once every quarter instead of monthly, while paying estimated tax monthly via PMT-06 challans. Our team evaluates your cash flows and sets up the QRMP scheme if it saves you compliance time.

Question 7

Can I correct a mistake made in a filed GST return?

Accepted Answer

You cannot directly edit a return once submitted, but Indian GST law allows you to amend invoice values, GSTINs, or tax heads in the subsequent month's GSTR-1 (Table 9) or GSTR-3B. Our experts ensure all adjustments and credit notes are accurately reflected in the next cycle.

Question 8

What is an E-Way Bill and when is it required during monthly trade?

Accepted Answer

An E-Way Bill is mandatory for moving goods worth more than ₹50,000 across state or intra-state borders. If your monthly GST returns are overdue for two consecutive periods, the government automatically blocks your E-Way Bill generation, halting your physical dispatches. TaxQue keeps your filings up to date to prevent logistics stoppages.

Question 9

How do you handle e-Invoicing compliance for our business?

Accepted Answer

If your annual turnover exceeds ₹5 Crore in any prior financial year, generating Invoice Reference Numbers (IRN) with QR codes via the IRP portal is compulsory under Rule 48(4). Our team configures automated e-invoicing workflows so your sales data flows directly into GSTR-1 without manual re-entry.

Question 10

What should I do if a vendor fails to upload an invoice in GSTR-1?

Accepted Answer

If a supplier does not report your purchase invoice, that tax amount will not reflect in your GSTR-2B, preventing you from claiming ITC. Our monthly reconciliation report provides an automated vendor follow-up list highlighting non-compliant suppliers so you can withhold payment until they file.

Question 11

What is the difference between GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and GSTR-9?

Accepted Answer

GSTR-1 is your detailed sales return. GSTR-3B is your monthly tax calculation and payment return. GSTR-9 is the consolidated annual return filed at the end of the financial year to reconcile all 12 months with your audited financial balance sheets. TaxQue manages all three returns seamlessly.

Question 12

How does TaxQue ensure our confidential financial data is secure?

Accepted Answer

We use 256-bit encrypted secure cloud servers and role-based access. Your sales ledgers, customer lists, and pricing data remain strictly confidential and protected by privacy protocols.

Question 13

What if the GST department issues a Rule 88C tax mismatch notice?

Accepted Answer

Rule 88C notices are automatically generated when tax declared in GSTR-1 exceeds tax paid in GSTR-3B. If you receive Form DRC-01B, our CA team analyzes the variance, drafts a formal explanation, or assists in depositing the differential tax to prevent bank account attachments.

Question 14

Can I switch between monthly and quarterly GST filing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, eligible taxpayers (turnover under ₹5 Crore) can opt in or out of the QRMP scheme at the beginning of any quarter on the GST portal. Our consultants manage the portal preference change within the permitted window.

Question 15

How do we share our monthly sales and purchase data with TaxQue?

Accepted Answer

You can simply upload your Excel spreadsheets, Tally exports, Zoho Books ledgers, or PDF invoices directly to our client portal, or email them to your dedicated account manager. We handle data cleaning, formatting, and validation.

Question 16

Does TaxQue help if our GST registration gets suspended for past late filings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your GSTIN has been suspended due to return backlogs, our team computes all accumulated arrears with interest, files all pending returns sequentially, and submits a formal revocation letter to restore your active status.
