GST Registration in Lucknow

GST Registration in Lucknow

Are you planning to start a business in Lucknow? Then you might have come across GST registration. GST means Goods and Services Tax, a single tax that applies across India. Earlier, businesses had to deal with many taxes, such as VAT, service tax, and excise duty. Now, all those have been combined into one simple tax - GST. Getting a GST number helps your business become officially recognised in the eyes of the government. It allows you to sell your products or services anywhere in India and participate in government tenders. The best part?  You can apply online from home by uploading basic documents such as your PAN Card and Aadhaar card.

What is GST?

GST is a single tax applicable 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.

There are four kinds of GST:

1. CGST is paid to the central government when you sell something inside your own state.
2. SGST goes to the state government at the same time, for the same sale.
3. IGST is used when goods or services move between states or when importing or exporting.
4. UTGST works like SGST, but only in Union Territories.
