The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has announced significant updates to the GSTR-1 form, effective January 2025, aimed at enhancing compliance and streamlining the reporting process for GST-registered suppliers.

Introduction of Tables 14 and 15

Two new tables have been incorporated into the GSTR-1 form:

  • Table 14: This table captures details of supplies made through e-commerce operators (ECOs). Suppliers are required to report transactions where ECOs are liable to collect tax at source under Section 52 of the CGST Act. This ensures accurate reporting of e-commerce transactions and proper tax collection.
  • Table 15: This table is designated for ECOs to report supplies for which they are liable to pay tax under Section 9(5) of the CGST Act. It includes details of supplies made through ECOs where the liability to pay tax rests with the operator rather than the supplier. This facilitates transparency and accountability in e-commerce transactions.

Implications for Suppliers

Suppliers engaging in transactions through e-commerce platforms must familiarize themselves with these new tables to ensure accurate reporting. Failure to comply may result in discrepancies, potential penalties, and issues with input tax credit claims.

Action Steps for Compliance

To adhere to the new requirements:

  1. Review Transactions: Identify all supplies made through e-commerce platforms and determine the tax liability—whether it falls under Section 52 or Section 9(5).
  2. Update Accounting Systems: Ensure that your accounting software is updated to capture and report the necessary details in Tables 14 and 15 accurately.
  3. Training and Awareness: Educate your accounting and compliance teams about these changes to prevent errors in GST filings.

Conclusion

The introduction of Tables 14 and 15 in the GSTR-1 form represents a significant step towards improving the accuracy and transparency of GST reporting for e-commerce transactions. GST-registered suppliers should take proactive measures to understand and implement these changes to maintain compliance and avoid potential issues.
