What is GST Cancellation?
A registered person can apply to cancel GST registration if the business is closed, transferred, or no longer needs registration. The application is made in Form GST REG-16.
After cancellation, a final return in GSTR-10 must be filed within 3 months. We also help revoke cancellations initiated by the department for non-filing of returns.
Who Needs GST Cancellation?
- Businesses that have closed
- Businesses with turnover below the threshold
- Taxpayers whose registration was cancelled by the department (revocation)
