GST cancellation means officially closing your GST registration with the Goods and Services Tax Department when a business no longer needs to remain registered under GST. It can happen due to business closure, turnover falling below the threshold limit, or a change in business structure such as merger or conversion. Once the GST registration is cancelled, the taxpayer is no longer required to collect or pay GST or file GST returns. However, proper filing of a final return (Form GSTR-10) is mandatory to complete the process legally.
Any registered taxpayer who is no longer liable to pay GST can apply for cancellation. This includes proprietorships, partnerships, LLPs, companies, and other registered entities whose turnover has dropped below the prescribed exemption limit.
Taxpayers who have discontinued their business, transferred ownership, or changed the nature of their business can also apply. Additionally, the GST officer has the power to cancel a registration if the business fails to file returns for a long period or violates GST provisions.
A business should apply for GST cancellation as soon as it stops taxable activities or becomes ineligible for registration. If the annual turnover falls below the GST threshold (₹40 lakh for goods and ₹20 lakh for services), the registration can be voluntarily cancelled.
Cancellation is also required when a business is sold, merged, dissolved, or transferred to a new entity. Timely cancellation prevents penalties for non-filing of GST returns and avoids unnecessary tax liabilities on an inactive GST number.
