GST Registration
GST Registration is a mandatory process for businesses that exceed the threshold turnover limit or engage in interstate supply of goods and services. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a comprehensive, indirect tax implemented in India to streamline the taxation system and replace multiple indirect taxes like VAT, Service Tax, and Excise Duty. GST Registration provides businesses with a GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number), enabling them to collect and remit taxes legally.
