CBIC allows businesses to apply for revoking cancellation of GST registrations by July 22

26 Apr 2019 Evaluate

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has allowed businesses to apply for revocation of cancellation of their Goods and Services Tax (GST) registrations by July 22, provided they file their pending returns and pay due tax. These businesses earlier had their GST registrations cancelled due to non-filing of tax returns. It said where the registration has been cancelled with effect from the date of the order, all returns due till the date of such cancellation are required to be furnished before filing the application for revocation.

In cases where the registration has been cancelled with retrospective effect, the CBIC has allowed filing of revocation application, subject to the condition that all returns relating to the period from the effective date of cancellation till the date of revocation order will be filed within a period of 30 days from the date of the revocation order. The CBIC officers have recently cancelled a large number of registrations on account of non-compliance, including non-filing of returns.

The CBIC had earlier asked its field officers to be careful while processing application for fresh GST registration by those businesses whose earlier registration has been cancelled due to non-compliance, as it sought to crack down on tax evaders. About 1.2 crore businesses are registered under GST, which was rolled out on July 1, 2017.
