What is GST Registration Cancellation

GST Registration Cancellation refers to the process where a business or taxpayer applies to the GST authorities to cancel their GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number). Once cancelled, the business is no longer required to comply with GST filing and other associated obligations

There can be several reasons why a business might need to cancel its GST registration. However, it’s essential to follow the proper procedures to avoid any complications or penalties after cancellation


Reasons for GST Registration Cancellation


There are several valid reasons why a business may seek GST registration cancellation:

1. Business Ceases to Exist

If your business has stopped its operations or closed down, you may apply for GST registration cancellation

2. Lower Turnover

If your business’s annual turnover falls below the GST threshold limit, you can apply for cancellation. For example: ₹40 lakhs for goods (₹20 lakhs for special category states).₹20 lakhs for services (₹10 lakhs for special category states).

3. Change in Business Structure

If there is a change in the legal structure of your business, such as a change from a sole proprietorship to a partnership, the new entity may need to apply for its own GST registration.

4. Voluntary Cancellation

In some cases, a registered taxpayer may choose to voluntarily cancel their GST registration due to business reasons, like if their business has stopped dealing in taxable goods or services.

5. Non-Compliance

GST authorities may cancel your registration if your business fails to comply with GST laws (e.g., not filing returns for six consecutive months).

6. GST Registration Obtained by Mistake

If you obtained GST registration by mistake, you may seek cancellation of your registration.

7. Death of the Proprietor

In the case of the death of a sole proprietor, GST registration may be canceled.

  • Charge GST: You cannot charge GST on sales of goods and services
  • Claim Input Tax Credit (ITC): After cancellation, you will not be able to claim ITC on any business-related purchases made
