  1. GST Registration: Who Needs to Register for GST?

  2. GST, which stands for Goods and Services Tax, is a comprehensive tax that has been in effect in India since July 1, 2017, and is applicable to the supply of goods and services. To adhere to the tax regulations, registration for GST is mandatory for individuals or entities whose turnover surpasses the specified threshold. It should be noted that the threshold limit differs for goods and services and may also vary from state to state. Moreover, the chosen type of GST registration also impacts the relevant threshold. Who is required to enroll for GST?

  3. The threshold limit for GST registration is applicable to regular taxpayers and varies depending on the type of goods or services provided. For goods, the threshold limit is Rs 40 lakhs, while for services, it is Rs 20 lakhs, except in Telangana and special category states. In Telangana, the threshold limit for goods is set at Rs 20 lakhs, while in special category states, it is Rs 20 lakhs for goods and Rs 10 lakhs for services. Threshold Limit for Regular Taxpayers: Threshold Requirement for Composition Taxpayers: When the annual turnover of composition taxpayers reaches Rs 40 lakh, they are required to register for GST. Once registered as a Composition Taxpayer, they are prohibited from collecting taxes from customers or issuing tax invoices.

  4. There are specific instances where GST Registration becomes obligatory, regardless of the turnover. These instances encompass: • Individuals engaging in interstate supply of goods. • Individuals providing services to customers outside the country. • Casual taxable individuals. • Individuals obligated to pay tax under the reverse charge mechanism. • Agents supplying taxable goods or services on behalf of another registered taxable person. • E-commerce operators. • Tax deduction at source. • Non-resident taxable persons. • Input service distributors. • Suppliers offering database access or online information from outside India to non-registered taxable persons within India. • Any other category of individuals notified by the Government based on the recommendations of the GST Council. Cases Requiring Mandatory GST Registration:

  5. Additionally, it is crucial for all the aforementioned categories to acquire GST Registration once they fulfill the threshold criteria or fall within the mandatory cases. Once registered, individuals or entities are required to maintain accurate bookkeeping records, issue necessary documents for various transactions, fulfill tax obligations, and file returns.
