Filing of GSTR-4 Nil Return


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a taxpayer under the GST composition scheme can file a nil GSTR-4 return if they had no sales during the financial year. The consensus is that filing a nil GSTR-4 is indeed possible and permissible, even if the tax software might initially seem to reject it. This is important as filing an annual return can impact taxpayer ratings.

11 April 2022 Sir,

A tax payer who was opted composition scheme under GST and during the financial year 2021-22, he does not make any sales and filed CPT-08 with nil return. Can I file GSTR-4 with nil liability on or before 30-04-2022 (due date shown in the site) even if I does not have liability. Is it possible to file nil annual return because filing of annual return was one of the factor in tax payer rating.

11 April 2022 Nil return software may not accept. Enter turnover 100 and profit 8 and opt for 44AD. ITR will be accepted.
