Power of Factorial Business Solution - Auditors and Tax Consultants: Guide to GST Registration in India

 

Introduction

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a comprehensive, multi-stage, destination-based tax that has replaced many indirect taxes in India. GST is levied on every value addition, making it essential for businesses to understand the registration process. Whether you're a new entrepreneur or an established business, understanding how to register for GST is crucial.

Why is GST Registration Important?

  1. Legal Compliance: Businesses exceeding the threshold limit must register under GST. Non-compliance can lead to penalties.
  2. Input Tax Credit: Registered businesses can claim Input Tax Credit on their purchases, reducing the overall tax burden.
  3. Enhanced Credibility: GST registration boosts the credibility of a business, making it easier to engage with vendors and customers.
