GSTR-10 is a final return that must be filed by taxpayers whose GST registration has been cancelled or surrendered. It ensures proper closure of GST liabilities and compliance before exiting the GST system.
GSTR-10, also known as the Final Return, is required to be filed once a taxpayer’s GST registration is cancelled. It contains details of stock held, inputs, and capital goods on which input tax credit has been availed.
This return helps the government ensure that any pending tax liabilities are settled before the business is officially closed under GST.
