What is GST Registration?
GST is Goods and Service Tax. Multiple taxes are clubbed under GST and thus the cascading of taxes that has prevailed in the past will no longer be the case. GST Registration is critical because it will enable to avail various benefits that are available under the GST regime. One such benefit is to avail seamless input tax credit. Also, timely registration will help you avoid any kind of interface with tax authorities.
GST is an Indirect tax. It is a destination based tax on consumption of goods and services. GST is levied at all stages right from manufacture up to final consumption with input credit paid at previous stages. Hence, only value addition will be taxed and burden of tax is to be borne by the final consumer.
What is Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN)
Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN) is an identification number which is assign to each Firm or Company or Individual registered under the GST Act. Its a 15 digit unique tax identification number. The first two digit show the state code & another next 10 digit show the pan number of the entity or person. Apart from this next 1 number show the entity code & another 2 number are random.

GST registration can be voluntarily obtained by any person or entity irrespective of turnover. However, the following person require mandatory GST registration:
- Those registered under the pre-GST law (Excise, Service Tax, VAT, etc.)
- Any business involved in the supply of goods whose turnover in a financial year exceeds Rs.40 lakhs for Normal Category states (Rs.20 lakhs for Special Category states)
- Any business involved in the supply of services whose turnover in a financial year exceeds Rs.20 lakhs for Normal Category states (Rs.10 lakhs for Special Category states)

- Non-Resident taxable person
- Input Service Distributor

Who is a Casual Taxable Person under GST?
A person who occasionally supplies goods and/or services in a territory where GST is applicable but he does not have a fixed place of business. Such a person will be treated as a casual taxable person as per GST.
Who is a Non-Resident Taxable person under GST?
When a non-resident occasionally supplies goods/services in a territory where GST applies, but he does not have a fixed place of business in India. As per GST, he will be treated as a non-resident taxable person. It is similar to above except the non-resident has no place of business in India.
Who is an Input Service Distributor?
‘Input Service Distributor’ means an office of the supplier of goods/services which receives tax invoices on receipt of input services and issues tax invoices for the purpose of distributing the credit of CGST/SGST/IGST paid on the said services to your branch with the same PAN. (It must be a supplier of taxable goods /services having the same PAN as that of the office referred to above).
Thus, only credit on ‘input services’ can be distributed and not on input goods or capital goods. This will be a new concept for assessees who are currently not registered as input service distributors. However, this facility is optional in nature.
Who is a composition taxpayer?
A composition taxpayer refers to those registered under the composition scheme who need not collect GST from their customers at normal rates. Instead, a composition taxpayer can pay tax at a nominal rate or lower rates to the government on the basis of turnover or receipts on a quarterly basis.

Penalty for not getting GST Registration.
Failure to register under GST will result in a fine of Rs. 10,000. In addition, the Input Tax Credit during the delay period will be lost.
