The return form must be completed and submitted with the relevant supporting documents regarding electronic filing or SOQS if the taxpayer informs SARS that they are no longer resident for RAV01 tax purposes.

Partnerships with one or more employees must file final federal tax filings. If partnerships do not withhold or pay revenue, social security and health insurance taxes, the trust fund recovery penalty may apply. The penalty is the total amount of unpaid tax on the trust funds. The IRS may impose it on all persons who, in the opinion of the Service, are responsible for collecting, billing, and paying such taxes and who have acted intentionally by failing to do so.

A responsible person may be a partner in a limited partnership or limited liability partnership, employees of a partnership, an accountant or a person who signs cheques for the partnership or who is authorized to arrange for the use of the company`s funds. General partners are fully responsible for unpaid payroll taxes, not just trust fund amounts. All those who cannot follow the above method must submit a cancellation request in the TPS REG 16 FORM.

Later, we cancelled this registration in October 2017 because we do not expect our annual turnover to exceed twenty lakhs and therefore we did not charge GST in July 2017 and that is why GSTR-3B was not submitted. Please clarify that we will have to pay GST for the period July to September 2017, for which we did not collect GST and submitted GSTR-3B.
