GST Registration

GST, an indirect tax on Goods and Services, is a unified nationwide tax with a destination-based approach. It acts as a singular tax for goods or services, spanning from manufacturers/service providers to customers. The tax paid at each stage is reclaimable in the next as input tax credit. GST paid on goods or services can offset the GST due on their supply. The ultimate consumer bears the GST charged by the last dealer. This simplified system streamlines taxation across the nation, making it more efficient and transparent. Any one apply for new GST registration.

GST

A destination-based tax on goods and services, applicable from manufacturing to the end consumer. Credits for taxes paid at earlier stages are available as input credits, making the system comprehensive and efficient.

Both Central GST and State GST are imposed concurrently on every transaction involving the supply of goods and services, excluding exempted items and entities below the specified threshold. For instance, with an 18% GST rate, SGST is 9%, and CGST is 9%.

For interstate trade, the GST on the supply of goods and services is administered by the Central Government as IGST. For instance, with an 18% GST rate for traded goods, the IGST applicable would be 18%.

Companies must register for GST if their annual turnover exceeds Rs. 40 lakhs (Rs. 20 lakhs for services). Additionally, even if the turnover is below the threshold, mandatory registration is required for interstate sale of goods. Stay compliant with GST regulations to ensure smooth business operations.

No. Person registered under composition scheme is not eligible to claim input tax credit.

Buyers from a registered person under the composition scheme are ineligible for composition input tax credit. This is because suppliers in the composition scheme cannot issue a tax invoice.

Goods and services imports are treated as inter-state supplies, attracting IGST. Full offset is granted for GST paid on imported goods and services, ensuring a fair and transparent system for businesses engaged in international trade.

Exports are considered zero-rated, meaning no tax is payable on exported goods or services. However, exporters can claim input tax credit and seek refunds. Exporters have the flexibility to either pay tax on output and claim IGST refund or opt for a bond-based export without IGST payment, subsequently claiming Input Tax Credit refunds. This provides exporters with choices to optimize their tax processes and facilitate smoother international trade.

In certain supply categories, the responsibility to pay tax rests with the recipient of goods or services, not the supplier. This shift in liability streamlines tax procedures for specified transactions.

When a registered individual acquires goods or services from an unregistered entity, they are responsible for paying the tax through the reverse charge mechanism. This simplifies taxation for such transactions.
