India GST Return Filing

After you export the India GST report from NetSuite, the next step is to submit the data to your tax authority online for GST return filing. The India GST portal (www.gst.gov.in)lets you prepare and submit GST tax returns online or offline, depending on the return type. The following information describes how you can use the India GST reports from NetSuite when filing your GST tax returns.

Note:

Verify the data in the reports before submitting to your tax authority.

GSTR-1 Tax Return

When you’re preparing your GSTR1 tax returns, the portal gives you an offline utility to convert your CSV files before uploading them online. After exporting the India GST report from NetSuite, you must use the GST Offline Utility Tool to convert the file to JSON format before uploading for validation.

To convert the India GST report to a JSON file format:

  1. Download the GST Offline Tool V2.2.9 from the India GSTportal.

  2. Export the India GST Report file in a CSV format.

  3. Upload your India GST report in CSV format into the offline utility tool.

  4. Using the GST Offline Tool, generate a JSON file by going to View Summary > Generate File > Save.

After you generate the JSON file, you can upload and submit it to the India GST portal for validation.

GSTR-3B Tax Return

Use the exported GSTR3B tax report from NetSuite to file your GSTR3B tax returns. Unlike GSTR1, you have to enter the data manually online when you file GSTR3B.

To file your GSTR3B tax return online:

  1. In NetSuite, export your GSTR3B tax report. For more information, see Viewing India GST Reports.

  2. Log in to the India GST portal.

  3. Under Services > Returns > Returns Dashboard, select the Return Filing Period.

  4. Select GSTR3B and manually enter the data from the India Localization SuiteTax Reports SuiteApp.

GSTR-9 Tax Return

After you generate the GSTR-9 report, change the DAT file to JSON format and use the GSTR-9 Offline Tool to validate the report.

To file GSTR-9 tax return:

  1. Ensure that the file is in JSON format.

  2. Download the GSTR-9 Offline Tool V1.8 from Goods and Services Tax portal.

  3. Open the GST Offline Tool and go to the Home tab.

  4. Click Open Downloaded GSTR-9 JSON File and import the report.

  5. Click OK after the report is imported successfully.

  6. On the GSTR-9 Offline Tool, go to report you want to validate and click Validate Sheet.

    You’ll see a message when the report is validated.
