GST - Annual Return for import-export


Posted December 13, 2025 by Kieeti123

GST Annual Return (GSTR-9) is an annual filing summarizing turnover, ITC, and tax liability for businesses, including importers and exporters, ensuring accurate reporting of import IGST, export turnover, refunds, and compliance under GST.

 
Every year, businesses—including importers, exporters, traders, and logistics operators—are required to file GSTR-9, the GST Annual Return that consolidates the financial year’s turnover, input tax credit (ITC), and tax liabilities derived from monthly returns such as GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B.
For FY 2024–25, GSTR-9 filing is mandatory for taxpayers with an annual turnover exceeding ₹2 crore, while it is optional for businesses below this threshold, as per the latest GST notifications. The due date for filing is 31 December 2025.
For import and export businesses, accurate filing is especially critical, as it ensures proper reporting of:
• IGST paid on imports
• Export turnover (zero-rated supplies)
• Refund-eligible ITC
• E-way bills and shipping documentation
Correct and timely filing helps avoid late fees of up to ₹200 per day, interest liabilities, departmental notices, and GST audits—keeping your import-export operations compliant and penalty-free.
