The filing of taxes via GSTR forms in accordance with the slabs and qualifying requirements is known as GST return. A return is a report which includes details about a taxpayer's income that must be submitted to the tax authorities.

GST-compliant sales and purchase invoices are allowed to file GST returns or GST filing. Tax regulators use this to measure tax liability. A licensed dealer is required by GST to file GST returns that include transactions, sales, production GST (on sales), and input tax credit (GST paid on purchases).
