• Should I register GST

Dear Sir,

I am Tarun Darbar an account manager of small sole proprietor business at Bandel, Hooghly, West Bengal - 712123. 
Our business Name is ST Design, which provides Graphic and web design service outside of India basically USA and UK.
We did not provide any service in INDIA and did not get any local payment on our business account and all payment come in USD to INR format on our local bank account. 
So my question should we pay any GST or should we register in GST? 
last 3 years our turnover was below Rs.20,00,000 and our CA suggested to not register but I am worried that in future is this will face any problem?
Also in this year, our turnover may cross Rs, 20,00,0000. So in this situation what will be the process for GST?
Should I register under Import Export Code?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon. 

Thanks,
Tarun Darbar

Dear Tarun,

 

Hope you are doing well !!

 

As per Section 22 of the CGST Act, “Every supplier shall be liable to be registered under this Act in the State or Union territory, other than special category states, from where he makes a taxable supply of goods or services or both, if his aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds 20 lakh rupees.” However, the limit of 20 lakhs is not applicable where inter-state supplies are made.

 

Since export has been deemed to be an inter-state supply, all exporters of services would mandatorily be required to take registration under GST even if exports are zero-rated under GST.

 

Under GST regime, the exporter has either of the two options:

  • Export under bond without payment of GST
  • Export along with GST payment and claim refund later

Hi Tarun

You are not liable to GST registration. Refer to notification 10/2017.

You need to register under GST once your turnover crosses 20 lacs. Apply for Letter of Understating right after registration. Post registration and application of LUT, you can export without payment of GST; return filing shall be mandatory.

Hi Tarun,

 

No, you are not liable for GST registration.

 

Central Government vide Notification No. 10/2017 – Integrated Tax dated 13th October,2017 has exempted the persons making inter-State supplies of taxable services and having an aggregate turnover not exceeding an amount of Rs. 20 lakhs in a financial year from obtaining registration.

 

Once the your turnover crosses Rs, 20,00,0000, you will have the option to make supplies with or without the payment of IGST (Apply for LUT).

 

Accordingly you will have to evaluate the option, of LUT/Bond.

Earlier people providing inter state supply were compulsorily required to register under GST but after a notification the compulsion has been removed and now you need to register only if the turnover surpasses 20 lakhs and if it does surpass then also you can apply for LUT and export without charging GST.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

You are required to seek GST registration once you cross the limit of 20 lakhs. 

 

The exports are zero rated but the law provides that either the exports can be made under a bond or by taking letter of understanding.  

 

You will also have to do return filing compliances.
