Section 85 read with Rule 19 of the CGST Rules, 2017: 

Liability in case of transfer of business

This section deals with liability to pay tax in case of transfer of business under following circumstances:

  • Liability arising before transfer of business either wholly or in part by way of Sale, Gift, Lease, Leave and License, Hire or in any other manner whatsoever, both transferor and transferee will be jointly and severally liable, either wholly or to the extent of such transfer for payment of taxes, interest or penalty whether such tax, interest or penalty has been determined before or after such transfer, but has remained unpaid.

In the event of death of a business proprietor, two situations may commonly arise:

i. Business is continued by Legal heir – Where business is decided to be continued by his successor or transferee, the following procedure gives a brief idea about such transfer.

Application for Registration

The applicant shall file Form GST REG-01 and mention the reason for obtaining such registration as ‘Death of Proprietor’. Death certificate of the deceased person is required to be uploaded along all other necessary documents.

Transfer of ITC

Sec. 18(3) r.w. Rule 41 of the CGST Rules allows the transfer of unutilized ITC lying in the electronic credit ledger over to the transferee. The transferor shall submit Form GST ITC-02 which shall be accepted by the transferee. A certificate by a Chartered Accountant is to be affixed along with the form. The ITC shall be transferred immediately as soon as the transferee accepts such form.

Application for cancellation of Registration

Incase of death of sole proprietor of a business concern, the legal heir may file an application for cancellation of registration in Form GST REG-16, along with details of inputs held in stocks or inputs sustained in semi-finished or finished goods as on the date from which the cancellation of registration is sought, along with the details of the payment, if any, made against any liability and also furnish relevant documents within 30 days of the occurrence of the event warranting the cancellation, either directly or through a Facilitation Centre notified by the Commissioner.

Transfer of additional liability

In case a transferor being the sole proprietor of a business dies, the liability to pay any tax, interest or penalty due from the transferor, incase of business being transferred in whole or in part, shall be cleared by the transferee or successor.

ii. Business is discontinued by Legal heirWhere business is decided to be discontinued, the following procedure gives a brief idea about such discontinuance.

Remittance of tax and cancellation of registration

Section 29(5) r.w. Rule 20 of the CGST Rules, any taxpayer seeking cancellation of registration shall pay ITC contained in the stock of inputs, semi-finished goods, finished goods and capital goods or the output tax payable on such goods, whichever is higher, by debiting either electronic cash or credit. Form GSTR-10 is required to be filed for cancellation of registration within 3 months from the date of cancellation or date of cancellation order, whichever is later. Incase Form GSTR-10 is not filed within stipulated date, notice in Form GSTR-3A shall be issued to the taxpayer. If the taxpayer still fails to file the return within 15 days of the receipt of notice, an assessment order in Form GST ASMT-13 shall be issued to determine the tax liability of the taxpayer. Upon payment of taxes within 30 days of receipt of such order, the case shall be deemed to have been withdrawn. However, liability to pay interest and late fee shall continue.

Liability to pay

Where the business is carried on by the person is discontinued, whether before or after his death his legal representative shall be liable to pay, out of the estate of the deceased, to the extent to which the estate is capable of meeting the charge, the tax, interest or penalty due from such person under this act, whether such tax, interest or penalty has been determined before his death but has remained unpaid or is determined after his death.

  • Liability arises after transfer of business where the transferee carries on such business either in his own name or in some other name is liable to pay tax on supply of goods or services or both effected by him w.e.f. such transfer. The transferee shall be liable to apply for amendment of his certificate of registration within 15 days of such change, duly signed or verified through electronic verification code, in Form GST REG-14, along with documents, either directly or through a Facilitation Centre notified by the Commissioner.

In case the change relates to –

a. Legal name of business.

b. Address of the principal place of business or any additional place(s) of business

Addition, Deletion or retirement of partners or directors, Karta, Managing Committee, Board of Trustees, Chief Executive Officer or equivalent, responsible for the day to day affairs of the business,which does not warrant cancellation of registration, the proper officer shall after due verification, approve the amendment within 15 working days and issue an order in Form GST REG-15 and such amendment shall take effect from the date of occurrence of the event warranting such amendment.

  • In case a business in its entirety is being sold as a ‘going concern’, commonly known as Lock, Stock, Barrel basis, such sale is not taxable as per para 4(c) of Schedule II of the CGST Act read with exemption notification no. 12/2017 dated 28.06.2017.
