GST Registration

Eligibility, Process and Expert Help

GST is a major tax reform in India that simplifies taxation by replacing multiple taxes with a single system, improving ease of doing business and expanding the taxpayer base. Businesses supplying goods or services must register for GST to collect tax, claim input tax credit, and avoid penalties once they cross the prescribed turnover limit.

Businesses in special category states must register if annual turnover exceeds ₹10 lakhs, while in the rest of India the limit is ₹20 lakhs. Workfigure helps businesses with GST registration, return filing, and compliance services, with GST registration usually completed within 5–10 working days.
