GST Registration Process, Documents and Fees

In India, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is important for all service providers, traders, manufacturers, and freelancers. The GST system was established to replace central and state-level taxes such as service tax, excise duty, CST, entertainment tax, luxury tax, and VAT, thereby streamlining the tax process. The GST registration fee varies according to the type of business and turnover.

The GST framework offers a composition scheme for taxpayers with an annual turnover of less than 1.5 crore. This scheme enables them to follow simplified GST processes and pay taxes at a predetermined rate based on turnover.

GST registration is mandatory for businesses in India. If your company's revenue exceeds specified thresholds or falls into one of the groups that require GST registration, you must register as per the GST requirements. Professional Utilities can help you get your GST registration easily.

Under the current GST framework, any individual or business that provides goods and services must register for GST. So, if your business has an annual sales of more than Rs. 20 lakh (in all Indian states save the north-eastern ones), you must register with GSTN.

• Individuals registered under the Pre-GST law (i.e., Excise, VAT, Service Tax, etc.)
• Businesses with turnover above the threshold limit of ₹40 Lakhs (₹ 10 Lakhs for North-Eastern States, J&K, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand)
• Casual taxable person / Non-Resident taxable person
• Agents of a supplier & Input service distributor
• Those paying tax under the reverse charge mechanism
• A person who supplies via an e-commerce aggregator
• Every e-commerce aggregator

For Non-Payment or Underpayment: If a taxpayer fails to pay the required tax or incorrectly underpays, an acceptable equivalent of 10% of the outstanding tax amount is assessed. It is crucial to understand that, while there are no GST registration fees, the penalty for noncompliance can be severe.

Intentional Tax Evasion: If an individual or business knowingly fails to pay the required taxes, the penalty is 100% of the evaded tax amount.
