The Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBIC) introduced Quarterly Return Filing and Monthly Payment of Taxes (QRMP) scheme under Goods and Services Tax (GST) to help small taxpayers whose turnover is less than Rs. 5 crores. The QRMP scheme allows the taxpayers to file GSTR-3B on a quarterly basis and pay tax every month.

Who are eligible under the QRMP scheme?

A registered person who is required to furnish a return in FORM GSTR-3B, and who has an aggregate turnover of up to 5 crore rupees in the preceding financial year, is eligible for the QRMP Scheme. Further, in case the aggregate turnover exceeds five crore rupees during any quarter in the current financial year, the registered person shall not be eligible for the scheme from the next quarter.

How do taxpayers submit details of outward supplies?

Person opting for the QRMP scheme can use the Invoice Furnishing Facility (IFF) which allows quarterly GSTR-1 filers to upload their invoices every month. One should keep the following points in mind before utilising the IFF:

• The Invoice Furnishing Facility can be utilised only for the first two months of a quarter.
• The invoices relating to the last month of a quarter are required to be uploaded in GSTR-1 return
• There is no requirement to upload invoices in GSTR-1 if the same has been uploaded in the Invoice Furnishing Facility.
• The taxpayer has to submit the B2B invoice details of sale transactions i.e. both inter-state and intra-state along with debit and credit notes of the B2B invoices issued during the month.
• The total net value of invoices that can be uploaded is restricted to Rs.50 lakh per month.
• The details submitted in IFF will be reflected in the GSTR-2A, GSTR-2B, GSTR-4A or GSTR-6A of the recipients as the case may be.
• The Invoice Furnishing Facility will come into effect from 01.01.2021.
