GST Registration in Delhi
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is no longer dependent on the goodwill of the business owners. It is a single tax that makes your business transactions legal across India. If your business is engaged in the supply of goods, and its annual turnover is more than ₹40 lakhs, GST registration is mandatory in Delhi. Even small businesses, such as online sellers, service providers, or suppliers that operate outside of Delhi, must register under GST, irrespective of their annual turnover. Once your business is registered under the GST, you will get a GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number), which allows you to:
- Collect GST legally from your customers.
- Claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) on the GST when you make any purchase
- Expand your business across Delhi, other states, and even online
- And build trust with clients, suppliers, and government bodies
The whole registration process is online through the GST portal. You only need a few documents: PAN, Aadhaar, proof of your business address, bank details, financial statements, etc.
What is GST?
GST is a single tax applied to the sale of goods and services across India. It is the tax that you pay to the Central Government and the State government whenever you sell goods or provide services. Instead of paying multiple taxes like VAT, service tax, excise duty, and others, businesses have to pay only one tax - GST.
If you are registering under the GST, the following laws will be applicable to your business:
- Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017
- Delhi Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017
- Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017
- Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017
