your trusted partner for seamless Registration, Compliance, and Management.

Overview

GST cancellation refers to the formal process of terminating a GST registration under the Goods and Services Tax Act. This can be initiated by the taxpayer for various reasons such as

✔ Closure of business

✔ Change in business structure (e.g., merger, acquisition, or change in constitution)

✔ Ceasing to make taxable supplies

✔ Transfer of business (due to sale, amalgamation, demerger, etc.)

✔ Turnover falling below the threshold limit for GST registration

Once cancelled, the taxpayer is no longer liable to comply with GST regulations and cannot collect GST or claim input tax credit. Upon cancellation or surrender of GST registration, the taxpayer is also required to file a Final Return in Form GSTR-10. Filing of GSTR-10 is mandatory and must be done within three months from the date of cancellation.

This return serves as a declaration that all tax liabilities have been settled up to the date of cancellation. For assistance with GST cancellation or filing of GSTR-10, our team at Suretax Bizcare offers end-to-end support to ensure compliance and smooth closure of GST obligations.
