What is GST Registration?
GST (Goods and Services Tax) is India's unified indirect tax system that replaced multiple taxes like VAT, Service Tax, and Excise Duty. Any business with annual turnover exceeding ₹20 Lakh (₹10 Lakh for special category states like North-East, J&K, Himachal Pradesh, etc.) is required to mandatorily register for GST.
Even if your turnover is below the threshold, voluntary GST registration can benefit your business by enabling you to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC), deal with GST-registered clients, and participate in government contracts.
PrimeWealth Advisory handles the complete GST registration process on the GST portal — from document preparation and application filing to obtaining your GSTIN certificate.
