GST Registration Cancellation

GST Registration Cancellation is the process through which a business can voluntarily or involuntarily cancel its GST registration with the Goods and Services Tax (GST) authorities. This could be due to various reasons such as the business ceasing operations, no longer meeting the turnover threshold, or voluntarily choosing to cancel registration. Once the cancellation is approved, the business is no longer required to file GST returns, pay taxes, or comply with other GST obligations. However, the business must complete any outstanding tax liabilities or returns before the cancellation is processed.
