Instead of filing Nil returns, you do immediately do as under:
1. Under section 176, you are required to inform assessing officer within 15 days of discontinuing your business.
2. For surrender of TAN, you may write a letter to TDS AO stating reasons for surrender of TAN as "discontinuation of Business"
3. VAT laws of respective state provide for surrender of VAT registration. You may kindly refer to the respective state law for the same.

you can file application for surrender. The processing of cancellation of VAT registration shall be independent of your earlier tax liabilities and both the processes shall run separately.
