A consultancy business crossed the Rs. 20 lac sales threshold in October 2021, prompting a need for GST registration in November. The query concerns how to handle GST payments for sales made before registration and how to report turnover. The advice given is that GST is only payable on sales from November onwards, and GST returns should be filed starting from that month.
One of my client is into consultancy business and he started the business in April 2021. In the month of October 2021 his Gross sales became Rs. 21 lacs and he was liable to take GST registration.
He took the GST registration in November. My query is how will the GST payment be made in such a situation. Will he be liable to pay GST on the entire Rs. 21 lacs and how the Sales turnover will be shown in GST return as the GST certificate was taken in November month but the sale started from April month.
