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.
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.
