Understanding GST for Casual Taxable Person (CTP)
The government of India introduced the biggest tax reform – GST on April 1, 2017, replacing multiple tax structure which operates on each step of the supply chain. With the emergence of GST, state and central tax have been merged making a uniform tax rate structure for the entire nation, which was not the scenario earlier. Multiple taxes resulted in prominence of complexity in business dealing which induced a businessman into tax evasion. Due to the eradication of complexities and ease of regulation, entities have started settling tax, resulting in expansion of the tax base.
A CTP is an individual who undertakes business activities including the supply of both- goods and services on an occasional basis under taxable territory in the absence of any fixed business dealings, where he can manage supply as principal, agent or at any other capacity. A CTP is obliged to apply for GST Registration irrespective of his annual turnover and registration process must be initiated at least 5-7 days prior to the business undertaking.
Key-Advantages of GST Registration
Standardized Taxes
Numerous conventional tax systems, including Central Sales Tax, Additional Customs Duty, Purchase Tax, and others are strategically subsumed under single standardized tax mechanism, named GST. The recent tax scheme has further simplified the overall tax collection process and drastically eased-off the cumbersome tax compliance for nation-wide businesses.
Relieved Businesses
Before GST, ventures like restaurants, computer sales & services, among others had to bear various compliance burdens of calculating transaction based taxes (including VAT and Service Tax) for varied items at respective tax rates. Under GST, the distinction between goods and services has been eliminated to further un-complex the complex tax system for businesses.
Vast Tax Base
GST has significantly increased the tax base in India, therefore reducing the overall tax liability of businesses, as a large chunk of businesses is getting complied with GST regulations. Moreover, GST will be linked with people’s databases, including AADHAAR, PAN, and others, thus making GST registration and GST return filing process, a more seamless process.
Streamlined Tax Mechanism
GST was implemented in India to streamline and standardize the Nation’s indirect taxes mechanism. GST enabled business owners to have only one GST registration that will be valid across India for selling or purchasing goods or offering services. Moreover GST has relieved businesses from the complexities of obtaining multiple VAT registrations in different States and maintaining separate VAT and Service Tax registration.

About GST Return Filing
After completion of GST Registration, an entity is instructed to file GST returns periodically in order to avoid penalties. A GST return file is filed by the administration that represents the income of the taxpayer. The return is used by the authority to calculate the net taxable amount that a person is liable to pay. To enumerate it, a GST return filing form contains Output GST, Sales of a business, GST paid on purchase (Input tax credit) and total Purchase along with sales and purchase invoices. It must be, however, duly noted that a CTP is not supposed to file annual returns.
Government has recently announced quarterly returns effective October 2018, to reduce the compliance burden on small businesses, with a turnover of less than INR 1.5 crores, while the entities with an annual turnover of more than INR 1.5 crores are continue to file monthly GST returns.
The three returns to be filed by normal taxpayers are:
- GSTR-1 (details of outward supplies) on the 10th of each month,
- GSTR-2 (details of inward supplies) on the 15th of each month;
- and GSTR-3 (monthly return) on the 25th of each month.
