• Registered in March 2013 Nil return not filed

I had taken the ST registration in 2013 but failed to file die to non awareness , I was serving on the base of "ServiveTax Payable by the Customer" bcoz all the customer I served were private limited , so neither collected the tax from them nor filled the Nil return.

Now one notice received in 2019 on the base of 26AS that you have done the business for such amount and not paid the ST amount, for that every clarification has been given to the officer and he has been fully agreed , at last he is seeking the Return for the Nil Returns filed, What is the way to come out from this?

Hi

 

The officer may levy penalties for non filing of returns. However he may waive it off too, considering there was no tax liability at all. We have had cases where in export of services, returns were not filed and post proper submissions, no penalties were levied.

 

We may assist you in preparation of submission and related communications with the department.

If you are having Nil liability then also you have to file Nil return as far as GST return is concerned or else you need to pay late fee which was withdrawn earlier, for now you can apply for cancellation of your registration if your turnover is below threshold limit and you wont be liable for any interest or fees.

 

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you.

- You need to calculate the penalty for the non-filing of the NIL return. In case of non-filing of the NIL return, maximum cap was Rs.20,000.
