GST Cancellation

Cancellation of GST registration means that the taxpayer will no longer be a registered person under GST and will not have to pay/collect any GST, claim an input tax credit or file returns. GST registration cancelled is covered under Section 29 of the CGST Act and Rules 20 to 22 of the CGST Rules.

Any liability which is related to that particular GSTIN is required to be paid by the taxpayer. It can be recovered later on even after the cancellation of GSTIN.

The concerned officer of GST may cancel the GST registration of the taxpayer, upon failing to file monthly returns continuously for six months. The GST officer can cancel the GST registration of a composition taxable person if the taxpayer fails to file the GST returns continuously for three consecutive tax periods.
