GST Cancellation

Shutting down a business, or turnover has dropped below the threshold? Cancelling your GST registration properly - with the final return filed - prevents future compliance headaches and notices.

What is GST Cancellation?

GST cancellation is the formal process of surrendering an active GST registration when a business closes, changes structure, or no longer needs to be registered, done via Form GST REG-16, followed by a mandatory final return (GSTR-10).

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I stop filing GST returns instead of formally cancelling?
The department can cancel your registration suo-motu for non-filing, which can carry penalties and complications for any future registration - formal cancellation is the cleaner route.
Do I need to pay tax on closing stock while cancelling GST?
Yes, tax or input tax credit reversal may be applicable on stock held as on the cancellation date, which we help calculate correctly.
What is GSTR-10 and is it mandatory?
GSTR-10 is the final return that must be filed within the prescribed time after cancellation - it is mandatory and non-filing attracts late fees.
Can a cancelled GST registration be reactivated?
In specific cases (like cancellation due to non-filing), revocation of cancellation can be applied for within a limited window - we can assess if this applies to you.
How long should I keep GST records after cancellation?
It's advisable to retain GST records for at least 6 years from the relevant financial year, as prescribed under GST law.
