Who Is Required To Register Under GST?

  • Under the new tax regime of Goods and Services Tax, all persons engaged in the supply of goods or services are required to obtain registration of GST. Those who are not registered under GST shall not be allowed to collect GST from customers or claim input tax credit (ITC) on inward supply. Threshold limit of 20 Lakhs has been set by the GST Council. However, for northeastern states, it is 10 Lakhs. The registration must be applied for, within 30 days of reaching the threshold limit. For GST, the term Aggregate Turnover means all supplies made by the taxable person whether on his own or behalf of a principal. However, in case of registered job workers, the turnover of supplies under job work shall not be included in his turnover.
