GST Filing: Step-by-Step Guide

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 3: Register for GST

With Trademarkia, the registration process is simplified. Visit our platform and fill in the required details under the GST registration section. You’ll need to provide your business details, email, and phone number. After submitting the initial information, Trademarkia will guide you through the documentation upload and form submission. The process is entirely online, saving you time and effort.

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.

Step 5: Regular GST Filing

GST filing is an ongoing process, and you will need to file returns monthly, quarterly, or annually based on your turnover and the scheme you opt for. Trademarkia offers automated tools that integrate with your sales and accounting systems to ensure accurate and timely GST filing. We also provide expert consultations to help you select the right filing frequency and to understand various aspects like Input Tax Credit (ITC) and reverse charge mechanism.
