Hi all,

One of my friend who is running an hospital, registered under GST on July 2017. However after registration he comes to know that Hospital service are exempt from GST. Hence he is not filed the return. But last week he received a notice from department and met the officer, officer stating that he needs to file the nil return with fine till March. Later only he can cancel the registration.

My query is if the services are taxable means, he need to file it as per the officer instruction, when service is not taxable why he need to pay penalty of it. Is any solution for this?

Thanks in Advance.

If you take registeration under gst Voluntary basis you must file return even your service income less than the prescribed Amount. Here you must pay penality after that you can cancel registeraion. If you have any tax liabilty ie output tax is higher than input tax and you not file gst returns penality is 50 per day no tax liability it is only INR 25 per day from the legal date to subit returns.
