How do I cancel a GST registration?

File an application for cancellation in Form GST REG-16 on the GST portal, after filing all pending returns and paying dues. The officer processes it, and you then file the final return in Form GSTR-10 within three months of the date of cancellation or the cancellation order, whichever is later.

Guide

GST Cancellation: what you should know

Why people cancel GST registration

Reasons include closing the business, transferring it, a change in constitution, or turnover below the threshold for a person who registered voluntarily. A cancelled registration ends GST filing duties, but only after a final return and payment of any liability.

How cancellation works

The application is filed on the portal. The officer may ask for details, and you must file the final return and pay tax on stock and capital goods held where credit was taken. Pending returns must be filed first, because the department can reject a cancellation with unfiled returns.

If the department cancels it for you

Notice for non-filing of returns can lead to cancellation by the officer. You can apply for revocation within the allowed time, after filing the pending returns and paying dues. Act quickly, because the window is short.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Cancelling without filing pending returns
  • Forgetting the liability on closing stock
  • Missing the revocation window
General information based on the law as we understand it today. Rules, rates and due dates change, so confirm your own case with a Chartered Accountant.
