GST Council Rolls Out GSTR-1A To Facilitate The Taxpayers To Amend Details In FORM GSTR-1

The Union Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman in the 53rd GST Council Meeting proposed to roll out GSTR-1A to facilitate the taxpayers to amend the details in FORM GSTR-1.

The Council recommended providing a new optional facility by way of FORM GSTR-1A to facilitate the taxpayers to amend the details in FORM GSTR-1 for a tax period and/ or to declare additional details, if any, before filing of return in FORM GSTR-3B for the said tax period.

It will facilitate taxpayer to add any particulars of supply of the current tax period missed out in reporting in FORM GSTR-1 of the said tax period or to amend any particulars already declared in FORM GSTR-1 of the current tax period (including those declared in IFF, for the first and second months of a quarter, if any, for quarterly taxpayers), to ensure that correct liability is auto- populated in FORM GSTR-3B.

Form GSTR-1 is a monthly/quarterly Statement of Outward Supplies to be furnished by all normal and casual registered taxpayers making outward supplies of goods and services or both and contains details of outward supplies of goods and services.
