GSTR-8 is a monthly return to be filed by e-commerce operators registered under the GST.

However, the maximum late fee should not exceed Rs 5,000. There is no late fee on IGST in case of delayed filing. Along with late fees, interest has to be paid at 18% per annum. It has to be calculated on the TDS to be paid. The period for interest calculation will be from the next day of the due date of filing to the payment date.
