What is GSTR-5 Filing?

GSTR-5 is a monthly GST return filed by a Non-Resident Taxable Person (NRTP). An NRTP is a person who does not have a fixed place of business in India, but who occasionally supplies goods or services in India. In GSTR-5, the NRTP reports the sales made in India, the purchases and imports, the input tax credit and the tax paid.

This return is meant for businesses that come to India for a short time, such as foreign companies that sell goods at trade fairs and exhibitions, run events, give services for a project, or supply goods from outside to Indian buyers for a limited period.

CA Arpit Gupta helps foreign companies and their Indian representatives with registration as a non-resident taxable person, advance tax deposit, GSTR-5 filing and refund of the balance after the stay in India ends.

What is the Due Date for GSTR-5?

Example: If an NRTP's registration ends on the 10th of a month, the last GSTR-5 must be filed within 7 days of that date, and not on the 20th of the next month.

The dates can change through notifications. Please confirm with us.
