Central Board of indirect taxes and Customs has abandoned the late fees of Rs. 500 in some cases interest payable on late payments or on the extension of due date for the businesses to file GST returns till October.

Taxpayers who do not have any tax liability but were yet to file returns for the period from July 2017 to January 2020 – prior to the COVID period – no late fee will be charged.

For taxpayers having liability but not having filed their returns, they can do so with a late fee of maximum Rs 500, if returns are submitted by July 1, 2020.

Small taxpayers whose aggregate turnover is up to Rs 5 crore will be provided a waiver of late fees and interest if they file the form GSTR-3B for the supplies affected in months of May, June, and July 2020, by September 30, 2020, the notification added.

During COVID period of February, March and April 2020, the interest rate on late return filings by small taxpayers with turnover up to Rs 5 crore, will be reduced to 9% from 18%, if returns of inward supplies are filed till September 30.
