Overview – About GST Registration

GST (Goods and Services Tax) registration is a crucial step for businesses operating in India. Introduced as a unified tax system, GST replaced a myriad of indirect taxes and levies. Mandatory for businesses crossing a specified turnover threshold, GST registration is also available on a voluntary basis for those below the threshold. This registration process enables businesses to collect and remit GST to the government while allowing them to claim input tax credits on purchases.

FastLegal offers streamlined GST registration services, ensuring businesses adhere to tax regulations efficiently. With FastLegal, businesses benefit from expert assistance, timely compliance, and customized solutions. Partnering with FastLegal simplifies the tax journey, unlocking opportunities for business growth.

Components of GST

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India comprises the following components:

CGST (Central Goods and Services Tax): Levied by the Central Government on the intra-state supply of goods and services, CGST revenue is directed to the Central Government.
SGST (State Goods and Services Tax): Imposed by the State Government on the intra-state supply of goods and services, SGST revenue is allocated to the respective State Government.
IGST (Integrated Goods and Services Tax): Applicable to inter-state supply of goods and services and imports, IGST is collected by the Central Government. However, a portion of it is later distributed to the respective State Government where the goods or services are consumed.
UTGST (Union Territory Goods and Services Tax): Levied by the Union Territory Government on the intra-union territory supply of goods and services, UTGST revenue is directed to the Union Territory Government.

The combination of CGST and SGST or IGST, depending on the nature of the supply, ensures a seamless and coherent tax system for both intra-state and inter-state transactions. This mechanism facilitates the efficient collection and distribution of tax revenues between the Central and State Governments, thereby ensuring a harmonized and integrated indirect tax structure in India.
