GST Cancellation

• Revocation of Cancellation of GST Registration-Overview

  Nowadays, GST is one of the most discussed topics in India. All of us are still confused about the method for registration, filling the return forms, tax challan, e-way bill and other forms for GST. If you have mistakenly registered for GST and are required to cancel your GST registration, one can only do so if the annual turnover of his/her company is less than ₹20 lakhs that is the total of sales plus unregistered purchase.

  The cancellation of GST registration indicates that the taxpayer will not be a GST enrolled person anymore. He/she will not endure to pay or make GST. The results of the removal are:

  • The taxpayer will not pay GST anymore
  • For certain businesses, registration under GST is compulsory. If the GST registration is cancelled and business is maintained, it will involve an offence under GST and large penalties will apply.

  The provisions and procedures in the GST Act cover a wide range of potential scenarios for a taxpayer. Here, we examine the procedure for revoking a cancellation order for a GST registration as well as the relevant forms. The CGST Rules, 2017, Rule 23 includes the revocation provisions.

  Note: Revocation of GST registration can be initiated if a GST registration certificate has been cancelled by GST authorities.

Reasons for GST Cancellation

• Cancellation occurs when turnover is less than 20 lakhs
• Cancellation by the taxpayer in other cases like discontinuation of business, conversion of business
• Cancellation by a tax officer, if the business does not follow the established parameters.
