New Delhi: GST Network, which developed the technology backbone for new indirect tax regime, on Wednesday said it has launched an offline tool for filing purchase returns GSTR-2.
The tool would allow taxpayers to export data of GSTR-2 to excel. This will be helpful in comparing this data with purchase register to take actions like accept, reject and modify, GSTN said in a statement.
"We keep introducing new features and tools for the convenience of the taxpayers. This new version of the offline tool for GSTR-2 is better than the previous one as it allows taxpayers to compare data with the purchase data," GSTN CEO Prakash Kumar said.
So far, nearly 21 lakh businesses have filed GSTR-2 for July. The last date for filing is November 30.
Nearly 47 lakh businesses had filed GSTR-1 or sales returns, which has to be correspondingly matched with GSTR-2 or purchase returns.
Besides, the portal has also activated form GST CMP-02 which allows taxpayers to opt for composition scheme.
