How to Get GST Registration?
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a destination-based, multi-stage tax applicable on the supply of goods and services. Introduced on 1st July 2017, GST replaced multiple indirect taxes with a unified system based on the principle of “One Nation, One Tax.”
GST is levied at each stage of value addition and ensures transparency while eliminating the cascading effect of taxes. It has significantly boosted compliance, improved ease of doing business, and encouraged initiatives like Make in India and Digital India.
Under GST law, businesses operating without registration:
- Cannot collect GST from customers
- Cannot claim Input Tax Credit (ITC)
- May face penalties and legal consequences
Therefore, GST registration is essential to legally operate and grow your business.
