How to Check Annual Turnover in GST Portal

Updated on: 09 Jan, 2024 12:50 PM

The annual turnover of a business refers to the overall revenue generated from its sales and supplies throughout a fiscal year. This financial metric holds significant importance, especially for enterprises operating under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system. It plays a crucial role in ascertaining the tax liability of a GST-registered business, influencing its tax slab, and determining its compliance structure. The annual turnover serves as a key factor in establishing varying tax rates, filing frequencies, and regulatory obligations based on the business's turnover level. Therefore, it is crucial for businesses to actively monitor and effectively manage their annual turnover to ensure adherence to tax regulations and facilitate streamlined financial operations.

To make this process easier, the GST portal has launched a new feature that allows taxpayers to view and update their annual turnover information. This feature improves transparency and efficiency, enabling businesses to maintain correct records and follow tax rules smoothly. The GST portal provides a simple and convenient interface for taxpayers to check and change their annual turnover details, which helps to avoid mistakes and ensure compliance. This is a significant step towards making the tax reporting and filing process easier for GST-registered businesses and creating a more user-friendly and responsive tax system.

What is Annual Aggregate Turnover or Annual Turnover?

"Aggregate turnover" means the cumulative value of all taxable supplies, including exports of goods and/or services, exempt supplies, and interstate supplies, about entities sharing the same PAN, and is calculated on an all-India basis. It is essential to note that this calculation excludes the value of inward supplies subject to GST under the reverse charge mechanism. Additionally, the aggregate turnover does not encompass Central tax, State tax, Union territory tax, Integrated tax, and cess.

In essence, the aggregate turnover comprises the summation of the following components:

  • Value of all the goods and services that are taxed.
  • Value of all Inter-state supplies.
  • Value of all exempt pools of goods and services.
  • Value of all exports of goods or services or both.

However, certain items are expressly excluded from the turnover calculation:

  • Inward supplies attract taxes under reverse charge.
  • Taxes and cesses levied under GST.
  • Interstate supply of services.
  • Transactions that do not qualify as the supply of goods or services.
  • Supplies made outside India or received from outside India.
