In a significant development, the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has rolled out a highly anticipated feature enabling the online filing of Annexure-V on the GST Portal. Specifically tailored for newly registered Goods Transport Agencies (GTAs) opting for Forward Charge, this new functionality streamlines the process for users.
This innovative facility allows users to seamlessly upload manual Annexure-V submissions made to the jurisdictional office before the introduction of the online filing option. For GTAs providing services and intending to pay tax under Forward Charge for the current financial year and beyond, it is imperative to file the Annexure V Form by January 28, 2024.
Upon selecting the affirmative option of “YES,” users will be guided to the Annexure V Form. Alternatively, those not engaged in providing GTA services or those preferring to pay tax under Reverse Charge can choose the “NO” option. It is noteworthy that the Annexure V Form is also accessible through the Dashboard, under Services > User Services > GTA > Opting Forward Charge payment by GTA (Annexure V).”
