Navigating the maze of Goods and Services Tax (GST) filing can be a task for new business owners. However, with the right guidance, this process can be straightforward and efficient. At Trademarkia, we simplify the complexities of the GST registration and filing process, ensuring that your business complies with all regulatory requirements while you focus on growth.
Here’s your step-by-step process for GST filing for new businesses:
Step 1: Understand Your GST Obligations
Before diving into the GST registration process, it's crucial to understand whether your business needs to register for GST. Generally, if your annual business turnover exceeds INR 20 lakhs (or INR 10 lakhs for North-Eastern and hill states), GST registration is mandatory. For those involved in inter-state supplies or e-commerce, GST registration is required regardless of turnover.
Step 2: Collect Necessary Documents
Prepare the following documents in advance to streamline your registration process:
- PAN card of the business entity
- Proof of business registration or incorporation certificate
- Identity and address proof of promoters/directors
- Address proof of the business location
- Bank account statement
- Digital signature

Step 4: GSTIN and Compliance
Once your application is approved, you will receive your Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN), a unique code crucial for all your business transactions. Trademarkia provides tools and resources to help you understand how to utilize your GSTIN effectively and remain compliant with GST laws.
