What is GST Cancellation ?
GST cancellation is the process of deactivating a registered taxpayer’s Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN). It can be initiated voluntarily by the taxpayer, or by the GST department due to reasons like non-filing of returns, business closure, turnover falling below the threshold, or violation of GST laws. Once cancelled, the taxpayer is no longer required to collect or pay GST or file returns. However, they must file a final return (GSTR-10) to officially close their GST compliance. Timely cancellation is important to avoid penalties and legal issues for inactive or non-operational businesses.
When is GST Cancellation Needed?
GST cancellation is needed when a business closes, merges, or is no longer liable to pay GST due to turnover falling below the threshold. It is also required if the business changes its legal structure or fails to comply with GST rules. Timely cancellation helps avoid penalties and legal issues.
Common Reasons for Cancellation:
- ✔ Business has been shut down or transferred
- ✔ Annual turnover falls below the GST threshold limit
- ✔ No longer required for voluntary registration
- ✔ Change in business constitution (e.g., from proprietorship to company)
- ✔ Switching to a non-GST or exempt supply model
