If you are applying for GST Registration or have it, you must know how to add an additional place of business in GST Registration. This article discusses the detailed procedure on how to add additional place of business in GST Registration.
What is GST?
The GST (goods and services tax) is an indirect type of tax. It applies to both goods and services. It’s an indirect tax that you have to collect from customers when you sell your goods or services, and then submit it to the government.
When your annual revenue reaches INR 40/20 lakh, if you offer products and services over state lines or through an e-commerce platform, you must register for GST.
In India, there are four different types of GST registration. Tax rates range from 0% to 28%, depending on the sort of products and services you offer.
Why is GST Registration important?
State taxes such as VAT, Luxury Tax, and Purchase Tax were replaced by the GST (Goods and Service Tax). Furthermore, Several central taxes, including customs duty, central excise duty, and service tax, were also replaced.
Therefore, it is important for each taxable entity to register under GST as it helps in recognizing the business entity, paying taxes, and availing several other benefits.
Failure to register under GST may result in severe punishments, such as a fine equal to 10% of the tax avoided or Rs.10,000, whichever is larger. If a person fails to register on purpose and is caught by authorities as a fraud, the penalty might be as much as 100 percent of the tax amount avoided.
What is an additional place of business in GST Registration?
GST Registration depends on geography. Therefore, the supplier must register in each state because GST registration is PAN-based and state-specific. So, a company with several locations in different states must register separately in each state.
Furthermore, A company with many locations in the same state, on the other hand, can designate one location as the primary location and the others as secondary locations. Also, Some firms add new locations to their business list to meet the expansion.
So, The GST law mandates that taxpayers report such changes and additions to the GST system. This is known as an additional place of business in GST Registration.
