The High Cost of GST Non-Compliance
Failing to file your GST returns on time is not a mistake your startup can afford to make. The Goods and Services Tax regime in India has strict penalties for late filings, which can quickly add up and impact your cash flow.
How Late Fees Are Calculated
Late fees for GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B are levied on a per-day basis from the due date until the return is filed. The penalty amount depends on your turnover and is subject to a maximum cap per return.
- For Nil Returns: The penalty is lower, typically ₹20 per day (₹10 CGST + ₹10 SGST).
- For Other Returns: The penalty is higher, typically ₹50 per day (₹25 CGST + ₹25 SGST).
Don't Forget the Interest!
This calculator only estimates the late filing fee. In addition to this penalty, you are also liable to pay interest at 18% per annum on any unpaid tax liability. This interest is calculated from the due date of payment until the date the tax is actually paid. The combination of late fees and interest can make delaying your GST compliance a very expensive error.
