GST Registration is the process through which a business becomes registered under the Goods and Services Tax Act. After registration, the business receives a unique GSTIN (GST Identification Number), which is essential for collecting and remitting taxes. Registered businesses also gain the benefit of claiming Input Tax Credit (ITC) on the taxes paid for goods or services purchased.
Businesses must register for GST if they meet certain criteria, such as:
Annual Turnover Criteria:₹40 lakhs for businesses dealing in goods (₹20 lakhs for special category states).
₹20 lakhs for service providers (₹10 lakhs for special category states).
Businesses involved in the supply of goods/services across state borders must obtain GST registration.
E-commerce Operators:E-commerce platforms or operators who facilitate the sale of goods and services online must be registered under GST.
Casual Taxable Persons:Individuals who occasionally supply goods or services, without a fixed place of business.
Non-resident Taxable Persons:Non-residents supplying goods or services in India must also register for GST.
Businesses Making Taxable Supply:Any business involved in the supply of taxable goods or services.
Voluntary Registration:Even if your turnover does not exceed the threshold limit, you may choose to voluntarily register for GST to avail input tax credit and expand business opportunities.
Navigating the GST landscape can be complex for businesses due to frequent amendments and updates to the law.
