GST Return Filing for Traders & Wholesale
Traders and wholesalers file the highest-volume GST returns in India — hundreds of B2B invoices per month, vendor 2B reconciliation across dozens of suppliers, e-way bill discipline and QRMP eligibility below ₹5 Cr.
- Traders & Wholesale filers: GSTR-1 by the 10th, GSTR-3B by the 20th, GSTR-9 by 31 December — miss and pay ₹50/day + 18% interest.
- ITC eligibility for Traders & Wholesale is dictated by GSTR-2B; blocked credits under Section 17(5) must be reversed monthly.
- Correct HSN/SAC and place-of-supply are the two errors Traders & Wholesale businesses lose most ITC on.
- E-invoicing is mandatory above ₹5 Cr turnover; missing IRN blocks buyer's ITC.
- Taxpex files 3 days early, CA-signs every return and defends notices on filed periods free of charge.
