GST Registration

Introduction GST Registration

Under GST law, the concept of taxable person is significant since tax on supplies of goods and/services, is to be paid by a taxable person. So, we need to understand the concept of taxable person. As per section 2(107) of the CGST Act, taxable person means a person who is registered or liable to be registered under section 22 or section 24 of CGST Act 2017.

Thus, even an unregistered person who is liable to be registered is a taxable person. Similarly, a person not liable to be registered, but has taken voluntary registration and got himself registered is also a taxable person.

Threshold Limit for Registration

• Every supplier of goods or services or both is required to obtain registration
• In the State or the Union territory from where he makes the taxable supply
• If his aggregate turnover exceeds specified threshold limit in a FY.

What is aggregate turnover?

• For 4 North Eastern States (MMTN) - Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura & Nagaland - ₹ 10 lakhs limit for both goods and Services.
• For (USTAMP) - Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Telangana, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya & Pondicherry - ₹ 20 lakhs limit for both goods and services.
• For all other 21 states - ₹ 20 lakhs limit for services and ₹ 40 lakhs limit for goods.

Important Points:

• The limit of ₹ 40 lakhs is applicable only in case of exclusive supply of goods.
• If a person is engaged in exclusive supply of services (or) supply of both goods and services, the limit of ₹ 20 lakhs/10 lakhs should be considered.
• The limit of ₹ 40 lakhs is not applicable in the following cases:
