In other words, the tax officer may cancel a registration involuntarily if he finds any non-compliance. However, if the taxpayer thinks that the GST registration should not be cancelled and that there are valid grounds for revocation, he can apply for revocation or restoration of the registration based on eligibility for GST revocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GST registration revocation helps a taxpayer operate his\/her business without any hassle. It further allows businesses to create a positive image among multiple stakeholders, creating a positive reputation for compliance with tax norms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reasons for Cancellation of GST Registration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cancellation can occur due to various common reasons, whether initiated by the taxpayer or by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/tax-authority\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tax authorities<\/a>. Below are some of the key reasons that may lead to the cancellation of GST registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Turnover Below Threshold<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When a taxpayer\u2019s aggregate annual turnover is lower than the threshold limit of \u20b940 lakh for goods or \u20b920 lakh for services, he\/she can apply for voluntary cancellation of GST registration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Discontinuation of Business or Business Restructuring<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When a taxpayer decides to discontinue their business activity or operation permanently by shutting down the business, he can opt for GST registration cancellation with voluntary application. The shutdown may be due to retirement, restructuring of business or any other reason for discontinuation. Business transfer to other owners can be another reason for discontinuation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Conversion of Business<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When there is a change in the constitution of a business or business structure, for instance, if a partnership or<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/s\/soleproprietorship.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> sole proprietorship<\/a> changes into a private limited company, the GST registration has to be cancelled. The new entity should acquire a fresh GST registration from tax officials after the initial cancellation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, if there is a transfer of business, previous GST registration needs to be cancelled for regulatory requirements with timely submission of relevant documents and cancellation application.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Non-compliance<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If the authorised tax officer finds non-compliance with GST regulations for a continuous period, he\/she may cancel the GST registration for the taxpayer. Non-compliance may include non-filing of GST, non-maintenance of accounts, late filing of statutory returns or violations of GST provisions by regular taxpayers or any taxable person with tax liabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Form GST REG-21: Application for Reversal of Cancellation of GST Registration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a taxpayer&#8217;s GST registration certificate has been cancelled by the proper officer, the taxpayer can apply for reversal of the cancellation of the registration with an application in form GST REG-21. The taxpayer should file it within 30 days of receiving the cancellation notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Revoke of cancelled GST Number || How to apply for revoke of Cancelled GST| #Cancelled SUO- Moto GST\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F8NAqiF_0nU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if the proper officer cancelled GST registration due to non-filing of returns, then you have to file the returns along with interest and penalty before applying for reversal in form GST REG-21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are the steps to file GST REG-21:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Log in to the official GST portal and go to \u2018Services\u2019.

Some of these consequences are discussed below:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Resumption of Regular Operations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>GST registration cancellation results in adverse impacts on business operations even though a registered taxpayer does not need filing of GST returns after cancellation due to no further tax obligations for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wealthbridgecs.com\/sg-guide\/what-are-taxable-supplies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">taxable supplies<\/a>. However, its revocation helps businesses resume regular operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>GST Compliance Obligations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>As the cancellation proceedings are revoked, the business becomes obligated to comply with GST rules once again.

Post &#8211; cancellation event, they can revoke following the appropriate process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The revocation of cancellation of GST registration<\/strong> gives taxpayers an opportunity to address and correct the issues that initially led to the cancellation making it one of the affordable services.
