A major topic of discussion in India these days is GST. It seems that the majority of us still do not understand how to register for GST, fill out return forms, submit tax challans, produce e-way bills, and other forms related to the tax. When a company has mistakenly registered for GST and is required to cancel the registration, it is only possible for that company to do so if it has an annual turnover of fewer than 20 lakhs, which is the total of all sales plus unregistered purchases.
GST registration cancellation means that the taxpayer will no longer be a GST-enrolled individual. As a result, the taxpayer will not have to pay or make GST in the future.
- GST will no longer be paid by the taxpayer
- GST registration is mandatory for certain businesses. If the GST registration is canceled and the business is maintained, it will be considered an offense under GST and large penalties will be assessed.
There are several potential scenarios covered by the GST Act. In this section, we examine the procedure for revoking a GST registration cancellation order, as well as the forms required. Revocation provisions are included in Rule 23 of the CGST Rules, 2017.
In the event that GST authorities have cancelled a GST registration certificate, revocation of GST registration can be initiated.
