Do You Need to File a GST Nil Return?

No Business Activity Doesn’t Always Mean No GST Compliance

A GST Nil Return may apply when there is no reportable business activity or tax liability for the relevant filing period, subject to the taxpayer’s applicable return requirements.

You may need Nil filing support if:

  • You are GST registered but had no outward supplies during the period.
  • You have no taxable sales or output tax liability to report.
  • You have no eligible Input Tax Credit to claim for the relevant return.
  • You have not issued relevant invoices or recorded reportable transactions.
  • You are otherwise required to file a GST return for the period.
