📢 GSTR 5, GSTR 6 Due Date Reminder – 13th September 2025

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework has streamlined the taxation system in India, replacing a complex web of indirect taxes with a unified system. However, the efficiency of GST depends largely on the timely filing of returns. Every due date under GST is crucial because it ensures seamless flow of credit, compliance with tax laws, and avoidance of penalties.

One such important compliance date is 13th September 2025, which is the due date for filing GSTR-5 and GSTR-6 for the month of August 2025.

In this blog, we will explain in detail what these returns mean, who needs to file them, why they are important, and how businesses can stay compliant with the help of experts like Taxla Services P. Ltd.

🔹 What is GSTR-5?

Applicability:
GSTR-5 is a return specifically for Non-Resident Taxable Persons (NRTPs). These are businesses or individuals who do not have a permanent establishment in India but make taxable supplies of goods or services within India.

Details Required in GSTR-5:

  • Outward supplies made to Indian customers.

  • Tax liability and payment made during the period.

  • Details of credit/debit notes issued.

  • Advances received and adjusted.

  • Refunds claimed (if any).

Why It Matters:
Filing GSTR-5 allows the government to monitor the transactions of foreign entities operating temporarily in India. It ensures that taxes are duly collected from such transactions, avoiding any revenue leakage.

For NRTPs, non-compliance could mean penalties, restriction of future operations, and even difficulty in claiming refunds. Hence, filing GSTR-5 on time is not just a legal requirement but also a business necessity.

🔹 What is GSTR-6?

Applicability:
GSTR-6 is applicable to Input Service Distributors (ISDs). An ISD is typically a head office or a centralized office of a company that receives invoices for services like audit, advertising, or consultancy and distributes the Input Tax Credit (ITC) to its branches or units registered under the same PAN.

Details Required in GSTR-6:

  • Inward supplies received by the ISD.

  • Distribution of ITC to the respective GSTINs of the company’s branches.

  • Amendments to previous returns (if needed).

  • Adjustments for mismatches in ITC.

Why It Matters:
Accurate filing of GSTR-6 ensures that ITC is correctly distributed to the respective units, avoiding disputes and losses. Businesses that fail to distribute ITC correctly may end up losing the benefit of credits, leading to higher working capital requirements.

For growing organizations, timely GSTR-6 filing is a must to keep tax credits flowing smoothly and maintain compliance ratings.

⚠️ Consequences of Missing the Due Date

Failure to file GSTR-5 or GSTR-6 by 13th September 2025 can lead to several consequences:

  1. Late Fees & Penalties

    • ₹50 per day (₹25 CGST + ₹25 SGST) until filing is done.

    • For Nil returns, late fee is ₹20 per day (₹10 CGST + ₹10 SGST).

  2. Interest Liability
    If GST is payable and not paid on time, an interest of 18% per annum is applicable on the outstanding liability.

  3. Compliance Rating Impact
    GST compliance ratings are tracked by the government. Regular delays can lower the compliance score, affecting reputation and business opportunities.

  4. Loss of ITC Flow
    For ISDs, failure to file GSTR-6 means that branch units may not be able to claim Input Tax Credit on time, impacting their finances.

  5. Legal Actions
    In case of persistent default, authorities may initiate audits, issue notices, or restrict the taxpayer’s operations.

✅ How to Stay Compliant

Staying compliant requires careful planning and professional support. Here are a few tips:

  • Keep records updated: Maintain proper invoices, debit/credit notes, and reconciliations.

  • Use technology: Leverage accounting and GST software to track deadlines and prepare returns.

  • Set reminders: Mark due dates like 10th, 11th, 13th, 20th of every month for GST filings.

  • Consult experts: Work with professional auditors and tax practitioners who can handle compliance efficiently.
