GST Services with Bharat Tax Services
1. What is GST?
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax levied on every value addition. It is an indirect tax that has replaced many indirect taxes in India, such as the excise duty, VAT, services tax, etc. GST is applicable on the supply of goods and services and is a single tax for the entire country, making the tax system more streamlined and efficient.
2. Rules for GST Registration
GST registration is mandatory for businesses that meet any of the following criteria:
- Turnover Threshold: Businesses with an annual turnover exceeding ₹20 lakhs (₹10 lakhs for special category states) must register for GST. For goods, the threshold is ₹40 lakhs.
- Interstate Business: Any business involved in the supply of goods or services across state lines must register for GST, irrespective of turnover.
- E-commerce: Businesses operating through e-commerce platforms must register for GST.
- Casual Taxable Persons and Non-Resident Taxable Persons: Individuals who occasionally supply goods or services in a territory where GST is applicable need to register, regardless of turnover.
- Agents and Input Service Distributors: Agents of a supplier and input service distributors must register for GST.
- Reverse Charge Mechanism: Businesses required to pay tax under the reverse charge mechanism must register.
3. Benefits of GST Registration
- Legal Recognition: GST registration provides legal recognition for your business as a supplier of goods or services.
- Input Tax Credit: Registered businesses can claim input tax credit on their purchases, reducing the overall tax liability.
- Interstate Transactions: GST registration allows for seamless interstate transactions without the need for multiple state-level registrations.
- E-commerce: Enables businesses to operate on e-commerce platforms, expanding market reach.
