Late fee for delayed filing of Form GSTR 3B for August,2017
Those filing Form GSTR 3B would be surprised with demand for payment of late fee for delay in filing of GSTR 3 B for August 2017.
Where the return had been “submitted” after 20th September, 2017 with a delay of say 2 days, GSTN calculated late fee for 2 days.
|
|
 |
If for some reason the “submitted” return is filed on
say 26th September 2017, GSTN calculates late fee for 4
days and is required to be paid before submitting the
return for September 2017.
The basis of calculation of late has been explained as follows:
The system does entry into ledgers from 3B return on the date on which return is submitted (entries get frozen). The late fee till that date is applied, if date of submission is later than the last date of filing. In case the return is filed later than the date of filing then the late fee for the gap between date of filing and last date of filing return or date of submission (whichever is later) is added in the next month’s return.
In case a taxpayer had submitted last month’s return on 22nd Sept (D1) and filed the return on 26th Sept (D2), then late fee was calculated for 22nd -20th Sept and shown in the payment sheet of Sept Return (2*100*2). The delay between date of submission (D1) and date of filing (D2) [26th - 22nd Sept] amounting to 4*2*100 is to be paid by the taxpayer. The same is now being added in the return and shown to the taxpayer.
A ticker has been put on the portal explaining this.
Many taxpayers faced issue with EVC as late as October 10, 2017 as can be seen from the following tweets.
Those who had availed transition credit had issues with EVC and filing GST TRAN 1 got delayed and consequently filing of GSTR 3B was also delayed.
In all fairness, it is hoped that, at least, late fee
for delay in only filing of the return that had been
submitted within time should be waived.

Decision of GST Council – Leasing of Motor Vehicles
The GST Rate of tax on sale of vehicles on which ITC have not been availed under the earlier law and contracts for leasing of motor vehicles entered into prior to July 01, 2017, had been a contentious issue since under GST the tax charge is higher than that was applicable under the earlier law.
To mitigate the tax burden, the GST Council has made the following recommendations.
a) Leasing of vehicles purchased and leased prior to 1st July, 2017 would attract GST at a
rate equal to 65% of the applicable GST rate (including Compensation Cess).
b) Such vehicles when sold shall attract GST of 65% of the applicable GST rate (including
Compensation Cess).
c) Sale of vehicles by a registered person who had procured the vehicle prior to 1st July,
2017 and has not availed any Input Tax Credits of Central Excise duty, VAT or any
other taxes paid on such motor vehicles, would also be subject to 65% of applicable
GST rate (including Compensation Cess).
