Penalty for filing late returns.

Penalty for filing late returns.

In case, a taxpayer fails to furnish the details relating to outward supplies, a penalty is charged for the same. The fine amounts to a sum of Rs 200 (Rs 100 for CGST and Rs 100 for SGST) for each day of continuing default. This is subject to a maximum of Rs 5,000 only. However, there is no late fee for IGST. Also, interest is charged at 18% per annum. This interest is calculated by the registered taxpayer on the amount of tax liability outstanding. Furthermore, the interest is calculated from the day succeeding the due date for filing the GST return until the date of payment of tax by the taxpayer.
