GST or Goods and Service Tax, which the legislature of India executed on the first of July 2017, that was probably going to profit the whole nation by extending the tax net and by giving a consistent credit of input tax. Nonetheless, for the successful execution of GST across the nation the overall current Central Excise and Service Tax evaluates need to relocate to GST by doing their enrolment on the GST gateway. The individuals who have a turnover of more than Rs. 20 lakh (Rs. 10 lakh for North East states) in a budgetary year need to complete their enrollment under GST. Those who do inter-state supply or sell products through e-commerce sites must mandatorily register for GST. No threshold limit is applicable to these taxpayers.
Via Why should I register for GST voluntarily?
The Goods and Service tax is taking India by force. Allowing GST to bring in “One nation one tax” to unite indirect taxes under one authority and facilitate Indian businesses to be competitive on a global level.
On an important note, GST registration is mandatory for businesses with a high turnover, persons with a lesser turnover may also register temporarily under GST.
Advantages of applying voluntarily?
Companies that are lawfully recognised as suppliers of goods or services– the GST would assist them in gaining customers.
Provide an involvement in the tax credit offered to customers– all shopkeepers can issue a taxable invoice and collect GST tax money from customers and as of customers, they can take input credit on every purchase they make.
Becoming more reasonable– large companies will be better off than other small business as buying from them will ensure an input credit.
Takings input recognition– those companies that have willingly listed themselves can assume input credit all by themselves on purchases and input services like lawful fees, session fees etc.
Making inter-state sales without many limitations– They can make inter-state sales without many restrictions (they will be treated as casual taxable persons). Thus, it widens the potential market for SMEs.
Register on e-commerce sites or open own e-commerce website– This will widen the scope of their market further.
Being obedient and having a good rating– Registering for GST will make sure that the industry is acquiescent (because most returns would be automated). This, in turn, will contribute towards having a good GST rating and help to increase the corporate.
