GST registration is the process through which a business becomes registered under India's Goods and Services Tax framework. Once approved, the taxpayer receives a GSTIN from the tax authorities. GST replaced several indirect taxes previously imposed by the Central and State Governments, including service tax, central excise duty, VAT, and certain other levies. The GST framework operates through different components depending on the nature and location of the transaction. The primary components are: • CGST – Central Goods and Services Tax • SGST – State Goods and Services Tax • IGST – Integrated Goods and Services Tax For an intra-state supply, CGST and SGST generally apply, while IGST generally applies to inter-state supplies. H2: Who Needs GST Registration? GST registration depends on factors such as turnover, nature of business, type of supply, and specific provisions applicable to the taxpayer. The applicable turnover threshold can vary by state and category of taxpayer, so businesses should verify the current requirements before applying. GST registration may apply to businesses such as: • Traders and manufacturers crossing the applicable turnover threshold • Service providers crossing the applicable threshold • Businesses making certain inter-state supplies • Casual taxable persons • Non-resident taxable persons • Persons liable to pay tax under specified reverse-charge provisions • Certain e-commerce operators and suppliers • Input Service Distributors • Other persons covered under compulsory registration provisions A business should not rely only on turnover when determining its GST obligation. The nature of its transactions and business activities can also affect registration requirements.
