GST Cancellation & Filing Form-10 (Final Return) with Taxation Point India
After a business cancels its GST registration, it is mandatory to file the final GST return (Form GST CMP-08 or Form GSTR-10) depending on the type of registration. This ensures that all pending liabilities are cleared, and the tax authorities have a complete record of the business transactions. Taxation Point India guides businesses through this crucial process to maintain full compliance and avoid penalties.
