Check status of GST return

Key requirements

After Submit, retain the acknowledgement containing the figures and payment instructions. Authorised preparers or approvers can view current and the past two years’ returns through GST Filing Status, using the relevant accounting period. REQUIRED TO FILE indicates a return is still outstanding, while PROCESSED indicates successful submission. A saved draft is not the same as processed filing, and processed filing does not prove tax has been paid. Resolve an outstanding status before the deadline and reconcile it with the acknowledgement rather than resubmitting blindly and creating conflicting figures.
