WHAT IS GST REGISTRATION?
Introduced on July 1, 2017, GST or Goods and Service Tax is seen as the most significant tax reform in the history of India. GST merged Central and State taxes into a single tax to improve the ease of doing business and widen the taxpayer base. Subject to certain conditions, GST registration is mandatory for manufacturers, traders, and service providers. GST has been implemented on the theme of One Nation One Tax and has tax slabs from a minimum of 0% to the Highest 28%.
Business entities whose turnover exceeds INR 40 Lacs (for Northeast and Hilly state 20 Lacs) are required to obtain a New GST Registration. However, the limit for the Service provider is still INR 20 Lacs. A certain category of Taxpayer u/s 24 of the CGST Act 2017 needs to register under GST irrespective of turnover compulsorily. It is in the best interest to determine upfront the requirements and eligibility criteria for the registration. It has ongoing compliances and further penalties for non-compliance, so it is advisable to understand the GST Provisions.
GST Registration Process can be initiated online through the GST portal, Provenience can help individuals and businesses in filing applications for GST.
FEATURES
GST Applicability
The Central GST and the State GST are applicable to all transactions of goods and services made for a consideration, except for goods which are outside the purview of GST and exempted goods and services. Transactions between related persons and other activities of GST Schedule I will be treated as supply even if made without any consideration.
Exports and Imports under GST
Exporters and Importers of both goods and services are compulsorily required to register under GST. A registered taxable person exporting goods or services shall be eligible to claim a refund of IGST paid or make Exports under bond or letter of undertaking without payment of IGST.
Composition Scheme for Small Business
Under the Composition Scheme, a Business with a turnover of less than 1.5 Cr. can pay GST on concessional rates, and also have lesser compliances for fillings. However, a composition dealer cannot collect tax and cannot take credit of inward supplies.
Removal of Cascading effect
One of the primary goals of a taxation system is to remove the cascading effect of the tax, i.e. No tax on tax already charged. Cascading effect of taxes is one of the major distortions of the Indian taxation regime. However, it has been completely removed in GST by seamless credit.
