Post-implementation of Goods and Service Tax (GST), it has become necessary for every small or big company supplying goods or services — annual turnover of more than Rs 20 Lacs — to get GST registration. Registration under GST ensures that proper taxes are paid by the organization for the goods and services.
After successful registration, taxpayers will be issued with a 15-digit unique GSTIN (Goods and Service Tax Identification Number) by the Central Govt. of India. Once you register for GST, you can start availing its underlying benefits provided by the gov.; for instance, you will be identified as a supplier by the gov. and can avail ITC and collect tax from the purchasers.
