Keeping the business suspended

134 views 4 replies

Our business has suffered due to the pandemic, and has no sales since March 2020. So, We are planning to shift our stock to a temporary warehouse, since we cannot afford the high rental of the current premises, and the building owner is not willing to adjust on the rental.

The plan is to keep all the stock in this warehouse, (which we got for very nominal rates through a mutual friend) for 3-6 months, and hope that business demand picks up by then.

The current premises is where we have registered in GST, and from March, we are filing nil returns for both GSTR3B, and GSTR1.

The query is wether we need to inform GST office about this suspension in business? We are not doing any business activity now, just keeping the stock in a warehouse. We might shift to a smaller premises once the pandemic effect goes off, and then would be applying for an address change.

Requesting the experts to please suggest.

thanks...

Better to register the new place as additional place of business. That's the better option...

Thank you for the suggestion. We are looking at this option. However, no business will be conducted from this premises. It is just a temporary storage (and not a commercial property), just to help us tide over the pandemic crisis. 

Dept can't accept the details. Better to consider as per above.

Otherwise contact Your Circle officer and explain the matter. may be they will accept then You can continue as per Your way...
You may file nill return
