251 views 3 replies

I have created my GSTIN number in January 2018 for selling on amazon but then somehow I was not able to buy and sell products there. I sold only 3 items of around Rs. 1299 which is my total sale till the time. Since I was not aware of the GST tax filing, I left it unseen. Now I am getting the messages from GST department saying pay your tax to avoid penalty. And someone told me that GST penalty is calculated on a daily basis and you have to pay around 60k as a penalty to the government. Can you please help me with this thing how can I handle this. I can't pay this amount I am not even into the business.
