Quick Summary

An individual is seeking guidance on the necessary registrations and procedures for earning less than $500 USD per month from technical consultancy work in Vietnam. While the amount is below the GST threshold, they are inquiring about specific provisions for foreign exchange earnings. The consensus is that as long as the aggregate annual turnover remains below the Rs 20 Lakhs limit, no GST registration or monthly returns are required, even for forex income.

07 July 2022 If your annual aggregate turnover is less than Rs 20 Lakhs then there is no need for registration in GST. If it exceeds the limit then GST registration is required. For more detailed clarification you can mail me.
