Benefits of GST Registration in India

 Benefits of GST:

Abolition of the cascading effect of taxes: The GST is comprehensive in nature and is designed to eliminate the cascading effect of the tax. The term cascading effect refers to the tax on a tax system that pre-existed, whereby tax liability was passed on at every stage of the transaction, resulting in an increase in the value or price of the item. GST eliminates the cascading effect because the tax effect directly affects the cost of goods and services. GST Registration is a mechanism through which the burden of tax along with better cash flows and working capital management is shifted closer to the consumer while benefiting the industry.

Input tax credit: The manufacturer or service provider can, at the time of payment of output tax, take a credit of the amount of tax paid on inputs from the total amount of output tax payable to the revenue. The average burden of taxes to the manufacturers or service providers varies in reduction. Thus, lower prices would induce consumption to rise.

Transparency: GST is a tax system in which transactions with registered retailers do not incur a tax cost. Thus, the cost of doing business will be reduced.

Tax evasion: The input credits play a very significant role in combating tax evasion. The input credit would be available to the recipient, i.e., the manufacturer or the service provider, only if the details have been given by the supplier in its return. Thus, it encourages the supplier of goods and services, which also helps check the evasion of taxes.

Higher threshold for registration: Earlier, different states had different thresholds with respect to the turnover of a trader or service provider the so-called concept threshold wherein traders or service providers with turnover over, say, 5 lakhs, were liable to pay VAT. In a GST regime, the limit has donned the robes of 20 lakhs. So the small traders and service providers can be left out of the unwieldy complexities involved in it.

Composition schemes for small businesses: This would further lessen the tax and compliance burden on quite many small businesses. Further, the example businesses.
