Everything you need to know before getting started — answered by our GST experts.
Is GST registration mandatory for my business?+
If your annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh (goods) or ₹20 lakh (services), registration is mandatory. It is also mandatory regardless of turnover for e-commerce sellers, interstate suppliers, and importers/exporters. Even below the threshold, voluntary registration is recommended for ITC benefits.
How long does GST registration take with Taxocount?+
We guarantee delivery within 2–3 working days from the date we receive all your documents. In most cases, if documents are submitted before noon, your ARN is generated the same day and GSTIN arrives within 2 working days.
What happens after I get my GSTIN?+
Once you receive your GSTIN, you must start raising GST invoices, filing monthly/quarterly returns (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B), and paying GST to the government. With our plans, we handle all of this for you — your first return is always filed free.
Can I cancel my GST registration later if my turnover drops?+
Yes. If your turnover falls below the threshold for 12 consecutive months, you can apply for GST cancellation. However, all pending returns must be filed before cancellation is approved. We handle the cancellation process as well.
What is the Composition Scheme and should I opt for it?+
The Composition Scheme is a simplified GST filing option for businesses with turnover up to ₹1.5 crore. You pay a flat tax rate (1% for traders, 5% for restaurants, 6% for service providers) and file returns quarterly instead of monthly. It reduces compliance burden but you cannot claim ITC or make interstate sales. Our experts will advise you on whether it suits your business.
What if my GST application gets rejected or a query is raised?+
Our Zero-Query Guarantee means we prepare and verify every document to prevent rejections. In the rare event a query is raised by the GST department, we respond to it at absolutely no extra charge — until your GSTIN is issued.
Do I need a separate GST registration for each state?+
Yes. If your business operates in multiple states, you need a separate GSTIN for each state. We can handle multi-state registrations simultaneously for businesses with pan-India operations.
What is the difference between regular and composition registration?+
A regular GST taxpayer files returns monthly, can claim ITC, and can make interstate sales. A composition taxpayer files quarterly, pays a flat tax rate, cannot claim ITC, and cannot make interstate sales. The right choice depends on your business model — call us for a free 10-minute consultation.
Is my first GST return really free?+
Yes, absolutely. Under our GST Basic plan (₹999), your first month's GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing is included at no extra charge. For all higher plans (Quarterly Saver, Manufacturer Special, Annual Compliance), the registration fee itself is waived and multiple months of filing are included.
