When do we pick to cancel the GST?
There are times when a taxpayer might have to choose to give up their GST registration. Here are some examples of when a tax payer may choose to go through the GST cancellation process:
A mistaken GST registration can lead to a GST liability that isn't necessary.
If a person has signed up for GST but has a turnover of less than Rs. 20 lakhs, he can choose to cancel his GST registration.
To avoid getting tax notices from the government when a business is dissolved or merged, the GST cancellation procedure must be followed.
If the government raises the limit for GST registration and you no longer qualify, you can choose to cancel your registration.
In the case of a takeover bid, the GST registration must be given up. If it isn't, the GST tax liability will still be under the name of the previous owner.
GST CANCELLATION STATUS AFTER 28TH GST MEET
