GST Registration Procedure for Non-Resident Taxpayers

GST registration is required for all taxable individuals, just like it is for everyone else. GST registration is required for all non-regular taxpayers. There is no minimum threshold for enrolling as a casual taxpayer. The casual taxpayer, on the other hand, cannot use a composition plan.

The casual taxpayer pays the tax in advance.

The casual taxpayer is required to make an advance deposit equal to the expected tax due. After submitting the funds, the applicant should get an electronic acknowledgment in the form GST REG 02. Only when the certificate of registration is issued will the casual taxable person be permitted to make taxable supply.

Filing of Returns

A casual taxpayer, like a regular taxpayer, must file the monthly/quarterly return Forms GSTR 1 and GSTR 3B.

The registration certificate's validity

The registration certificate as a casual taxable person is valid for the term selected by the taxpayer or for 90 days from the registration's effective date, whichever is sooner.The taxpayer may apply for an extension on the provided certificate by paying an advance payment of the tax amount equal to the projected tax due ( that is liable for the extended period).

Refund of deposited advance

After reducing his tax burden, the casual taxable person is entitled to a refund of any remaining advance tax deposited.

Only when all of the returns have been filed can the remaining advance tax be reimbursed.
