Professional tax

I had registered a new proprietary firm few years back and had registered with professional tax department in Ahmedabad. Unfortunately, due to some reasons, I was unable to start the business. I had rented a commercial office that time whose address I had submitted to P.tax department that time. Since I had not started the business, I vacated the office. I completely forgot to inform P.tax department. They have been sending P.tax notices since than to that address which K came to know recently. The amount which has accrued is huge now including panelties and interest. What should I do now. Do I have to pay entire amount or nothing at all, since I never started the business. Please guide. Thanks



Quick Summary
A business owner registered for professional tax but never started operations. They failed to inform the tax department about vacating the registered office, leading to significant accrued charges, penalties, and interest. The owner is seeking advice on whether they must pay the full amount or if there are options to contest it, given the business never commenced.

1. File Appeal before the Commissioner of Profession Tax, with all relevant documents and evidences, relating to what you have stated herein.  AND request to waive off or withdraw the Notices, based on above (non commencement of business etc....)
