Dear Sir,
I started my export business in 2006. I have my IE code , TIN number etc.. But due to some reasons, i haven’t any business so far.
And now i am planning start the business again. I would like to know whether i need update anything with concerned department.
Reply from Cogzidel:
Regarding IE code, you need NOT update anything with the department.
Regarding TIN, yes you will have to file monthly and annual NIL returns with the department.
Cheers
