Cancel GST Registration

The  registration  granted  under  GST  can  be  cancelled  for  specified  reasons.  The  cancellation  can  either  be  initiated  by  the  department  on  their  own  motion  or  the  registered  person  can  apply  for  cancellation  of  their  registration.  In  case of death of registered person, the legal heirs can apply for cancellation. In case the registration has been cancelled by the department there is a provision for revocation of the cancellation. On cancellation of the registration the person has to file a return which is called the final return.

What if we do not cancel GST registration ?

After obtaining GST registration, if there is no business activity, the assessee needs to start GST cancellation as per the process . If the taxpayer stops filing GST returns and lets the GST registration to be cancelled by the GST department, then he or she would not be eligible to obtain another GST registration under the same PAN.

Also, in case a GST registration gets cancelled by the Government, the taxable person would first have to apply for revocation of GST registration cancellation by paying all the late fees (which could run into lakhs) and after restoration - cancel the GST properly or continue filing GST returns. Hence, once a GST registration is obtained, it is vital for the taxpayer to monitor compliance ,and in case of no business activity, file for cancellation of GST registration at the earliest.
