From 1st July 2017 GST replaced various Central and State level indirect taxes like Value Added Tax, Service tax, Central Excise, etc. Businesses that are registered under VAT or Service Tax need to migrate to GST as per the enrolment plan of State Governments.
Under the new GST regime, GST registration is mandatory for all enterprises involved in the supply of goods or services or both & the annual turnover exceeding Rs.10 lakhs a year in north-eastern and hill states, while the limit is Rs.20 lakhs for rest of India. Unregistered persons will not be allowed to collect GST from customers or claim ITC & if they do so, they will be penalized. Apart from this criterion of turnover, the GST Act provides various other categories where registration is mandatorily required like supply under RCM, e-commerce aggregator, etc. irrespective of their turnover.
It should be noted that GST registration must be applied within 30 days from the date becoming liable for registration. The penalty for non-payment & short payment of tax is prescribed at the rate of 10% of the tax amount subject to a maximum of Rs. 10,000. If there is deliberate evasion of tax then the penalty can be 100 % of the tax amount.

| AUTHORISATION TO COLLECT TAX | Only registered persons can collect GST from customers on the supplies of goods or services or both & subsequently utilize the ITC. |
| SINGLE PLATFORM | With the implementation of GST in India, the indirect taxes would be streamlined and standardized. Under the GST regime, businesses would no longer have to obtain multiple VAT registration in different States or obtain a separate VAT and Service Tax registration. A single GST registration for the respective state(s) in India from where the supply of goods and/or services will be sufficient. |
| ONE NATION ONE TAX | GST subsumes various other taxes like Central Sales Tax, Additional Customs Duty, Purchase Tax, Luxury Tax, etc., Hence, under GST, many of the taxes in existence today would be subsumed and made into one tax. This would make tax collection and compliance easy for businesses across the country. |
| EASE OF DOING BUSINESS | Currently, many businesses like restaurants, computer sales, and services businesses have to comply with both VAT and Service Tax. This creates a compliance burden on the business, as they have to calculate taxes for the transaction based on different rates for different items. GST won’t make the distinction between goods and services which will, in turn, leads to relief to the business. |
| INCREASE TAX PAYERS VOLUME | GST will work on value addition concept and it is expected that new registration will come in existence to take to benefit of Input Tax in the Transaction chain. GST allows a seamless flow of input tax credit. |
| LOWER TAXES | Currently in some states under the VAT regime, businesses are required to comply with VAT regulations once they cross an annual turnover of Rs.5 lakhs. Under the GST regime, GST liability accrues only if an entity crosses an annual turnover of Rs.10 lakhs in northeast or hilly states, whereas, for the rest of India, the threshold is set at Rs.20 lakhs which ultimately leads to lower tax payment. |
