    GSTR 5: Eligibility, Format & Filing Procedure

    gstr 5

    Just like GSTR 1, GSTR 2 and other returns, taxpayers also have to file for GSTR-5. However, this must be filed by non-residents only who have certain tax liabilities. One can also file this return through the official GST portal. The step-by-step procedure is mentioned below in this article.

    However, first, let us start by understanding what GSTR-5 is, the information you can find and more. So, keep reading!

    Team Digit

    What is GSTR-5?

    GSTR-5 is a tax return that every non-resident taxpayer must file to record their outward and inward supplies. Non-resident taxpayers are suppliers who do not have a business set up in India but are making supplies in this country for a short time and are liable to pay GST. Also, they need to pay interest, fees, tax and penalties within 20 days once the tax period expires or after 7 days of the period of registration made valid (whichever date falls first).

    [Source]

    What is the Format of GSTR-5?

    The meaning of GSTR-5 will be clearer by knowing about the format present in the form GSTR-5:

    Section 1: It includes the GSTIN information of individuals. However, if non-resident taxpayers do not have GSTIN, they can also provide a Provisional ID.

    Section 2: This section contains three headers. It includes:

    • Trade name (if applicable)
    • The legal name of a taxpayer
    • Validity time of registration

    However, once you provide your GSTIN, this section will auto-fill itself.

    Section 3: This section gives information about Input or Capital goods imported overseas. So, non-residents must provide information on these imported goods by giving details of Bills of Entry, rate of tax, Cess paid, and amount of Input Tax Credit (ITC).

    Section 4: If any change is vital in this previous form, one must mention it under Section 4. Individuals can make amendments under different columns that mention rate, taxable value and more. Here make sure that you give both old and new information.

    Section 5: This form contains invoicing information relating to a business-to-business sale made to a registered person or UIN or Unique Identity Number holders. Here NRI taxpayers must mention details of IGST, CGST and cess applicable for sale.

    Section 6: In case an invoice value of the sale made to an unregistered person exceeds ₹ 2.5 lakhs, one has to mention its details under this section. In other words, it contains details of inter-state supplies.

    Section 7: This section is dedicated to recording taxable supplies made to the unregistered person that does not come under section 6. However, this will only contain details of intra/inter-state supplies (net of debit note and credit note) made to unregistered dealers that do not cross the value of ₹ 2.5 lakhs.

    Section 8: This section contains amendment details made in the previous sections, i.e., 5 and 6. Also, it includes changes made in business-to-business. Along with amendment, also provide details of credit and debit notes issued in the month.

    Section 9: Any changes in taxable outward supplies made to unregistered people mentioned in Section 7 should come under Section 9. It gives data on business-to-consumer sales carried out in the previous month, which was initially discussed in Section 7. However, it should follow a consolidated summary format with the state-wise mention of inter-state supplies.

    Section 10: This section contains total tax liability broken down into two sub-categories, including 'On Account of Outward Supply' and 'On Account of Differential ITC Being Negative in Table 4.'

    The first column gives information on tax liability for outward supplies for the same month. The second column, on the other hand, shows additional tax that taxpayers must clear due to the reversal of input tax credit in response to the changes made in imports earlier.

    Section 11: This section contains different tax paid and tax payable columns. In addition, taxpayers also fill out columns of CGST, IGST, SGST and Cess. The payment can be made either through cash or ITC.

    Section 12: There are two headers mentioning the amount payable and amount paid under which taxpayers must mention late fee due, interest applicable and others.

    Section 13: It contains details regarding refunds claimed using Electronic Cash Ledgers. So, one may need to give tax, penalty, interest and other details. Lastly, he/she must select the bank name from its drop-down list.

    Section 14: It shows debit entries made in the credit ledger, electronic cash, and interest payment. Assesses must fill it out after the tax is paid and the return is submitted. This last section will also give details on cash outflows in the form of interest, tax, and late fees.

    After understanding the format of GSTR-5, let us look at the prerequisites one must fulfil to file this return.

    [Source]

    What is the Eligibility to File for GSTR-5?

    The following are some criteria one must fulfil before filing this return:

    • Individuals filing this form must be a non-resident liable to pay tax and hold a valid GSTIN.
    • The concerned taxpayer must have valid credentials to log in.
    • He or she should have a non-expired, valid and non-revocable Digital Signature Certificate. This is especially important for a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), companies, or Foreign Limited Liability Partnership (FLLP). In many cases, the site authenticates returns using Electronic Verification Code (EVC).
