GST cancellation refers to the process of canceling or de-registering a Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration. It usually happens when a business is no longer liable to pay GST or when the business is closing down. The cancellation process involves submitting an application to the tax authorities and complying with certain requirements.
Let us explain it in a simpler way. GST cancellation is when a business wants to stop being registered under the Goods and Services Tax. It could be because the business is closing down or no longer meets the requirements for GST registration. To cancel GST, the business needs to submit an application to the tax authorities and fulfill certain conditions. Once the cancellation is approved, the business will no longer be liable to pay GST.
GST cancellation is governed by the Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. The act provides the legal framework and procedures for various aspects of GST, including registration, cancellation, returns, and compliance. It outlines the conditions, requirements, and processes for canceling GST registration. If you need more specific information about the act or the cancellation process, it’s best to consult the official documentation or seek guidance from a tax professional.
