Benefits of GST Registration
Elimination of Multiple Taxes
One of the benefits of GST is the elimination of multiple indirect taxes that existed earlier. So many taxes have been replaced. Taxes like excise, octroi, sales tax, Service tax, CENVAT, turnover tax, etc are not applicable anymore and all those have come under common tax called GST.
Saving More Money
GST applicability has resulted in the elimination of double charging in the system for a common man. Through this, the price of goods and services has reduced & helping the common man saving more money.
Ease of business
GST brought the concept of “One Nation One Tax”. That unhealthy competition that existed earlier among the States has benefited businesses wishing to do interstate business.
Cascading Effect Reduction
From manufacturing to consumption, GST is applicable at all stages. It is providing tax credit benefits at every stage in the chain. In the earlier scenario, at every stage, the margin used to get added and tax was paid on the whole amount. Under GST the businesses are taking benefit of Input Tax Credit and tax is being paid on the amount of value addition only. GST has reduced the cascading effect of tax thereby reducing the cost of the product.
More Employment
Because GST has reduced the cost of products, the demand, for some – if not all, products have increased. With the increase in demand, to meet the increase in supply, the employment graph has started going up.
Increase in GDP
The higher the demand, the higher will be the production. This results in a higher Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Reduction in Tax Evasion
Goods and services tax is a single tax that includes various earlier taxes and has made the system efficient with fewer chances of corruption and Tax Evasion.
More Competitive Product
Manufacturing has become more competitive with GST eliminating the cascading effect of the tax, inter-state tax, high logistics cost. Bringing competitiveness as GST will address the cascading effect of the tax, inter-state tax, high log benefits to the businessman and consumer.
Increase in Revenue
Under the GST regime, 17 indirect taxes have been replaced into a single tax. The increase in product demand means higher tax revenue for state and central government.
What is a Voluntary GST Registration?

A person who is not liable, still files for GST application, can get registered. However, then, it becomes essential for him to file Returns, after getting a GST number. Else, he will have to pay a penalty, as applicable.

You can choose to register for GST voluntarily too.

Especially if you are wishing to claim Input Tax Credit. Even if you are not liable to be registered, you can be registered voluntarily. After registration, you will also have to comply with regulations as applicable to those required to be registered.

Benefits of registering voluntarily under GST

  • Operate interstate without restrictions,
  • Have the option to register on e-commerce websites,
  • Have a competitive advantage compared to other rival businesses,
  • Fewer hassles and better compliance with government licensing agencies,
  • Focus on Your Business Growth.
Input Tax Credit or ITC

Inputs are all those goods that went into creating the finished products provided to the final consumer. Businesses are charged GST on goods/services that are used as inputs. The ITC mechanism allows GST registered businesses to receive refunds on the GST paid for purchasing all inputs. This helps prevent the cascading taxation effect, which was the primary reason behind the introduction of the GST.

For instance: GST payable on the supply of the final product of a manufacturer is Rs. 850 and the GST paid on inputs is Rs. 725. The manufacturer can claim the Rs. 725 as ITC. This brings the net tax payable at the time of supply to Rs. 125 only (Rs. 850 – Rs. 725).

Under the previous indirect tax regime of levy of Service Tax, VAT, and Excise – a lot of input tax credit was not properly utilized.

Who are eligible to claim Input Tax Credit?

ITC is available only to those entities who have registered under the GST Act. Only GST registered businesses can claim ITC on the tax paid for the purchase of any business relevant inputs.

  • The goods on which GST has been paid have been received by the consumer,
  • The applicant has filed the relevant tax returns,
  • The supplier had paid the due tax to the government,
  • The ITC applicant is registered under GST,
  • If goods were received in installments, ITC can be claimed only after the final lot has been received.

When the beneficiary settles the Government obligation rather than the provider. Usually, because the supplier is selling goods, the tax is levied upon the supplier. However, in certain cases, the tax is levied upon the buyer. And the buyer pays GST directly to the government. This is called a reverse charge. Under this, the responsibility to pay tax gets reversed.The applicability of RCM is when the supplier is not registered with GST and is making a supply to a GST registered taxpayer. In such a situation, the registered taxpayer is required to remit the applicable GST as a reverse charge to the government. The government has also notified a list on which the reverse charge will be applicable.

And the businesses operating within one state are to pay SGST (or the State GST). And the Integrated GST (or the IGST) is being levied and administered by the Centre on every inter-state supply of goods and services.

If an entity operates from more than one state, then a separate GST registration is required for each state. For example, a sweet vendor sells in U.P. and Delhi.
