The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services in India. GST is a comprehensive tax that subsumes all other indirect taxes like VAT, Service Tax, and Excise Duty. Every person or entity that is involved in the supply of goods and services is required to register for GST. However, there might be instances where a taxpayer may want to cancel their GST registration. GST Cancellation is a process that allows taxpayers to cancel their GST registration. In this article, we will discuss everything you need to know about GST Cancellation.
GST Cancellation is a process that allows taxpayers to cancel their GST registration. Once the GST registration is canceled, the taxpayer is no longer liable to pay GST or file GST returns. The GST Cancellation process is initiated when the taxpayer applies for cancellation of their GST registration.

Before you can cancel your GST registration, you will need to gather the following documents:
Log in to the GST portal using your GST login credentials.
Once you are logged in, navigate to the GST registration cancellation form.
Fill out the GST registration cancellation form, providing all the necessary information, including your reason for cancelling your GST registration.
Once you have filled out the form, submit it electronically.
You will receive a confirmation of your GST registration cancellation via email or SMS. The cancellation will take effect from the date you specified in the form.
GST Final Return is a return that needs to be filed by a registered person at the time of cancellation of GST registration. When a registered person cancels their GST registration, they are required to file a final return within three months of the cancellation date. This return will include details of all supplies made and received during the period for which the registration was valid, along with the tax liability and input tax credit claimed.
The GST Final Return is a summary of all transactions that took place during the period of the registration, including details of all taxable supplies made, exempt supplies, and non-GST supplies. It also includes details of all input tax credit claimed, along with any outstanding tax liability. The Final Return must be filed even if there are no transactions during the period of the return.
Once the Final Return is filed, the GST officer will verify the return and may ask for additional information if required. If the officer is satisfied with the return, he will issue an acknowledgement in Form GST REG-06. The GST Final Return serves as a closure of the registered person’s account with the GST department.
It is important to note that if a registered person fails to file the GST Final Return within the prescribed time limit, they will be liable to pay a late fee of Rs. 100 per day, up to a maximum of 0.25% of their turnover in the state or union territory. Therefore, it is crucial to file the GST Final Return on time to avoid any penalties.
If no business activity occurs after acquiring GST registration, the taxpayer must begin the GST cancellation process as outlined. If a taxpayer stops filing GST returns and allows his GST registration to lapse, he will be unable to apply for fresh GST registration using the same PAN.
Further, if the government cancels a GST registration, the taxable person must first apply for the cancellation to be revoked by paying any late fees. Following the restoration, appropriately cancel the GST or continue filing GST returns.
As a result, once a GST registration is received, the taxpayer must keep track of compliance. Hence, if there is no commercial activity, apply for GST registration cancellation as soon as possible.
