Revoking Your GST Registration with Alliance Tax Experts

Revoking Your GST Registration with Alliance Tax Experts

What is GST Revocation? GST revocation is the process of canceling the cancellation of a Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration. This step allows a taxpayer to reinstate their GST registration after it has been canceled either voluntarily or by the tax authorities. It provides an opportunity to rectify issues that led to the cancellation and resume business activities in compliance with GST regulations.

Why Revocation is Important: The primary purpose of GST revocation is to enable businesses to continue operating within the legal framework. When a GST registration is canceled, it can disrupt business operations, affect compliance, and hinder the ability to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC). By revoking the cancellation, businesses can rectify any non-compliance issues, update registration details, and continue meeting their GST obligations.

Key Steps for GST Revocation:

1. Check Eligibility: Ensure that the reasons for the cancellation of your GST registration fall under the circumstances where revocation is permitted.
2. Fulfill Outstanding Obligations: Clear all outstanding tax liabilities, including interest, penalties, and fees. Ensure that all pending GST returns are filed up to the revocation date.
3. Reverse Input Tax Credit: Make sure that any unutilized Input Tax Credit on inventory or capital goods is reversed or paid back to the government as per applicable regulations.
4. Submit the Revocation Application: File the application for revocation of cancellation of registration using Form GST REG-21. This form can be submitted online through the GST portal.
5. Track the Application: Regularly monitor the status of your revocation application to address any additional requirements or documentation requests from the tax authorities.
6. Receive the Revocation Order: Upon approval, the tax authorities will issue a revocation order, allowing you to resume your business activities under the reinstated GST registration.

Reasons for GST Cancellation: GST registration can be canceled under various circumstances, including:

• Turnover Below Threshold: If your turnover falls below the prescribed threshold limit, you may choose to cancel your GST registration voluntarily.
• Discontinuation of Business: If you permanently cease business operations, GST registration can be canceled.
• Conversion of Business: When there is a change in the constitution or structure of your business, such as converting from a sole proprietorship to a partnership or private limited company.
• Non-Compliance: If you fail to comply with GST rules, such as not filing returns for a continuous period, the tax authorities may cancel your registration.

Important Considerations Before Revocation: Before proceeding with the revocation process, consider the following:

• Outstanding Dues: Ensure all tax liabilities, including interest, penalties, and fees, are paid.
• Pending Returns: File all pending GST returns up to the date of revocation.
• Input Tax Credit (ITC): Reversed or pay back any unutilized ITC on inventory or capital goods.
• Compliance Requirements: Maintain records and fulfill all legal obligations for the period during which your GST registration was active.

Time Limits for Revocation:

• Voluntary Revocation: If you voluntarily cancel your GST registration, you have 30 days from the date of cancellation to apply for revocation.
• Revocation by Tax Authorities: If the tax authorities initiate the cancellation, they have 30 days from initiating the proceedings to issue a revocation order.
