GST Registration Online - An Overview
Launched on July 1 2017, the Goods & Services Tax (GST) applies to all Indian service providers (including freelancers), traders and manufacturers. A variety of Central taxes like Service Tax, Excise Duty, CST and state taxes like Entertainment Tax, Luxury Tax, Octroi, and VAT are absorbed in one tax – GST, implemented on 01.07.2017. GST is to be charged at every step of the supply chain, with full set-off benefits available. The procedure for GST is entirely online and requires no manual intervention.
Every product goes through multiple stages along the supply chain, which include the purchasing of raw materials, manufacturing, sale to the wholesaler, selling to the retailer and then the final sale to the consumer. Interestingly, GST will be levied on all of these 3 stages. Let’s say if a product is produced in West Bengal but is being consumed in Uttar Pradesh, the entire revenue will go to Uttar Pradesh.
Also, taxpayers with a turnover of less than Rs.1.5 crore can choose a composition scheme to get rid of tedious GST formalities and pay GST at a fixed rate of turnover.
What are the components of GST?
GST will have 3 tax components, which include a central component (Central Goods and Services Tax or CGST) and a state component (State Goods and Services Tax or SGST) where the centre and state will levy GST on all entities, i.e. when a transaction happens within a state. Interstate transactions will attract the Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST), to be levied by the centre, i.e. when a transaction happens one state to another.
What is the input tax credit?
Input tax credit lets you reduce your tax, you have already paid on inputs and pay the remaining amount at the time of paying tax.
You pay taxes on the purchase when a product is purchased from a registered seller, and when you sell the product, you too collect the tax. With input credit, you can adjust the taxes paid at the time of purchase with the amount of tax on sales (output tax) and pay the balance liability of tax, i.e. tax on sale minus tax on the purchase.
Who needs a GST Registration?
Every business or corporation that is involved in the buying and selling and good of services has to register for GST. It is mandatory for companies whose turnover is more than Rs.20 lakhs (for the supply of services) and Rs. 40 lakhs ( for the supply of goods) yearly to register for a GST.
All businesses making interstate outward supplies of goods have to register for a GST too. The same applies to businesses making taxable supplies on behalf of other taxable persons, for example, Agents and Brokers.
Also, as per the recent notification, e-commerce sellers/aggregators need not register if total sales are less than Rs.20 lakhs.
What are the GST tax rates?
- Items that are considered basic necessities come under the exempt list i.e. they are not taxed.
- Household necessities and life-saving drugs etc. are taxed at 5%.
- Products like computers and processed food are taxed at 12%.
- Hair oil, toothpaste and soaps, capital goods, industrial intermediaries and services are taxed at 18%.
- Luxury items are taxed at 28%.
You can see the tax rates for all the products here: https://cbec-gst.gov.in/gst-goods-services-rates.html

Please note that there is no provision for revising the returns. All invoices for the previous tax period that went unreported must be included in the current month.
Under GST, a registered dealer has to file GST returns that include: Purchases, Sales, Output, GST (On sales) and Input tax credit (GST paid on purchases).
What is GSTIN?
-

Voluntary Registration Under GST (for Companies With A Turnover Below Rs.20 Lakhs)
Any small business with a turnover of less than 20 lakh can voluntarily register for GST even though it is not compulsory by law. Voluntary GST registration has its own advantages and some of them are:
- Take input credit: In GST, there is a flow of input credit right from manufacturers of the goods to the consumers, across the country. Input credit means a taxpayer while paying tax on output can deduct the tax that has already been paid on inputs and pay only the remaining amount. Voluntarily registered businesses can increase their margins and profits through this.
- Do inter-state selling with no restrictions: SMEs can increase the scope of their businesses and find prospective customers and explore online platforms
- Register on e-commerce websites: SMEs can widen their market by registering through e-commerce sites.
- Have a competitive advantage compared to other businesses.
