Are GST return due dates the same for every business?
Reviewed June 2026
No — and assuming they are is a common source of confusion. A regular taxpayer files monthly; smaller businesses may opt into the quarterly-return, monthly-payment (QRMP) route; composition taxpayers follow their own simpler cycle; and special categories (e-commerce operators, non-residents, ISD registrations) each have their own forms and dates.
The good news: once your scheme is settled, your calendar is completely predictable. One page can show every date that applies to you — and nothing that doesn't.
That is essentially what our Compliance Management service is: one team, one calendar, every deadline handled, so the rhythm runs in the background while you run the business.
