Quick Summary
If a sole proprietor passes away, their business, including stock, can be transferred to their legal heir. This process involves registering the new firm, transferring Input Tax Credit (ITC) via Form ITC-02, and cancelling the old firm's GST registration due to a change in constitution. A CA certificate may be required for ITC transfers exceeding £5 lakh.
