INTRODUCTION

What is GST Registration?

A notable change in the policy driving force of indirect taxation came after the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax method of tax collection by a single tax. The Goods and Service Tax Laws have changed the landscape of the taxation of goods and services to a single statute. The most prominent among all of them is the CGST and SGST tax rates by the way. Through the central government’s CGST and IGST and the state government’s SGST, the earning gets distributed.

Threshold Limit for Registration

Depending on the revenue or activity criteria, business organizations must register under the GST. Businesses who trade in commodities or provide services and have annual gross receipts above Rs. 40 lakhs or Rs. 20 lakhs, respectively, are required to register for GST registration. However, the same is Rs. 20 lakhs and Rs. 10 lakhs, respectively, for businesses in the North Eastern States that manufacture supplies and offer services. Due to its advantages, a lot of sellers also choose to voluntarily register under the GST.

In India, registering for GST is only done online. Input Tax Credit flow is validated by GST registration, which also grants recognition as a registered supplier.

The price of supplies is lowered by the reduced cost of inputs. The ITC may also be transferred to customers by the registered GST provider.

Simplified and permanent registration

Legally recognized as Supplier

By registering under GST, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the seller can lawfully collect the taxes. Additionally, the credit may be transferred by the provider. Equal status and duties as taxpayers registered in accordance with obligatory requirements are likewise granted to voluntary registrants. The registrant is also able to provide pakka invoices to customers with the aforementioned registration.

Easy compliance requirements

Following registration, each registrant is required to fulfill compliance by filing returns on a regular basis. The GST regime streamlines these compliance obligations.
