  • A GST officer
  • The legal heir of the registered person through an application, in case of death of the registered person
  • The people who have applied for voluntary registrations can request for cancellation of registration even before the expiry of one year from the date of GST Registration.

 

When should you cancel your GST Registration?

  • If your turnover is not more than 20 lakh (now Rs. 40 Lakh w.e.f 01st April 2019) and you have registered voluntarily but you do not want to file the return.
  • If your business has been closed
  • If the business has been sold or transferred to some other party. That other party needs to register under GST.
  • If you are no longer liable for GST registration.
