This discussion addresses whether filing an annual GST return (GSTR-9) is necessary when a business has only purchased capital goods and incurred no outward sales during a financial year. While filing might not be mandatory in such cases, the user is keen on claiming the input tax credit on the capital goods, especially since future sales will be exports and thus zero-rated.

Sir, During a particular financial year, our new project has only GST purchase of Capital Goods and no outward sales is incurred. Weather it is advisable to file Annual GSTR 9 return. ( we have already file monthly GST return on regular basis.)
