GST Registration
What is GST Registration?
GST (Goods and Services Tax) registration is a process through which businesses in India are registered under the GST Act and provided with a unique Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN). It is mandatory for businesses with a certain turnover threshold to register for GST. Once registered, businesses collect GST from their customers on behalf of the government and can also claim the input tax credit for the GST they have paid on their purchases.
