GST Cancellation
GST Cancellation refers to the process of deregistering a business from the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system. This can occur when a business is no longer operational, its turnover falls below the GST threshold, or the business changes its structure. By canceling the GST registration, the business is no longer required to collect and remit GST, nor file returns, thus simplifying its compliance obligations.
Necessity of of GST Cancellation
1. Avoid Unnecessary Compliance: Deregistering from GST helps businesses avoid the burden of filing GST returns and other compliance requirements.
2. Cost Efficiency: Without the need to file monthly or quarterly returns, businesses can save on accounting and tax filing costs.
3. Smoother Business Closure: For businesses that are closing down, canceling GST registration is a key step to legally cease operations.
4. Flexible Restructuring: Businesses that are changing their structure or no longer meet the GST registration threshold can cancel GST without penalties.
Who Should Opt for GST Cancellation?

End Compliance and Close the Business Legally

2. Businesses with Turnover Below Threshold
