Improving GST returns will reduce taxpayer compliance costs. A few more scientific mistakes will not start legal proceedings. There will be a questionnaire for taxpayers who choose quarterly filings and check eligibility to enable profile-based returns. Drafted returns were made available online and will be available once approved.

Taxpayers will have to wait and see how this simplification will help them. Hopefully, this will not make filing more difficult as GSTN is ready to keep the amount of data safe and the network will face repeated crashes. With a lot of questions in mind, let's end the note and consider how the invoice for this sale will be treated in return.
