Advantages of GST Return Filing

Single Platform	With the implementation of GST in India, the indirect taxes would be streamlined and standardized. A single GST registration for the respective state(s) in India from where the supply of goods and/or services will be sufficient.
Credibility	Proper compliance with filing returns on time increases your credibility among your customers about the transparency of your transactions.
Input tax credit and refund	The prior condition for claiming a refund & ITC is that the return must be filed by the assessee.
One nation one tax	GST subsumes various other taxes like Central Sales Tax, Additional Customs Duty, Purchase Tax, Luxury Tax, etc., Hence, under GST, many of the taxes in existence today would be subsumed and made into one tax.
Ease of doing business	Currently, many businesses like restaurants, computer sales, and services businesses have to comply with both VAT and Service Tax. This creates a compliance burden on the business, as they have to calculate taxes for the transaction based on different rates for different items.
Increase taxpayers’ volume	GST will work on the value addition concept and it is expected that new registration will come into existence to take benefit of Input Tax in the Transaction chain. GST allows a seamless flow of input tax credits.
Lower taxes	Under the GST regime, GST liability accrues only if an entity crosses an annual turnover of Rs.10 lakhs in northeast or hilly states, whereas, for the rest of India, the threshold is set at Rs.20 lakhs which ultimately leads to lower tax payment.
