📢 GST Due Date – Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) for January 2025!

Staying compliant with GST regulations is crucial for businesses, especially small taxpayers opting for quarterly filing. The Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) is a beneficial option for those who want to report their invoices on a monthly basis rather than waiting for the end of the quarter.

In this post, we’ll explain the importance of IFF, its benefits, and the due date for filing the IFF for January 2025 to help businesses avoid penalties and ensure smooth transactions.

💡 What is Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF)?

The Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) is an optional feature available for small registered taxpayers who have opted for the Quarterly Return Monthly Payment (QRMP) Scheme under GST.

🔹 How Does IFF Work?

✅ Businesses that file GSTR-1 on a quarterly basis can use IFF to furnish details of B2B (business-to-business) invoices for the first two months of the quarter.
✅ These invoices are then reflected in the recipient’s GSTR-2A and GSTR-2B, allowing them to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on time.
✅ The taxpayer does not have to submit invoices for the third month separately, as all invoices will be reported while filing GSTR-1 for the quarter.

🔹 Who Should Use IFF?

📌 Businesses with an annual turnover of up to ₹5 crores, registered under the QRMP Scheme.
📌 Small businesses that frequently deal with B2B transactions and want their buyers to claim ITC on time.
📌 Taxpayers who do not want to delay invoice reporting until the end of the quarter.

📆 Due Date for Filing IFF for January 2025

⏳ The last date to file IFF for January 2025 is 13th February 2025.

⚠️ Note: Filing IFF is not mandatory but is highly beneficial for businesses dealing with B2B supplies, as it helps their buyers avail ITC on time. If a taxpayer does not use IFF, they can still report invoices in their quarterly GSTR-1 return.

🚀 Benefits of Filing IFF

✔️ Ensures timely ITC claim for recipients of B2B transactions.
✔️ Reduces GST compliance burden by allowing taxpayers to distribute their invoice reporting.
✔️ Enhances business relationships as buyers get their ITC faster.
✔️ Avoids last-minute rush while filing quarterly GSTR-1.

❌ Consequences of Not Filing IFF

🔴 If a taxpayer does not use IFF, their buyers will not be able to view or claim ITC for the reported invoices until the end of the quarter.
🔴 Delay in ITC claims could lead to cash flow issues for businesses relying on timely credit.

🚀 To ensure smooth tax compliance and avoid delays, businesses should make use of IFF before the due date.
