This discussion clarifies the Goods and Services Tax (GST) threshold limits. It confirms that the threshold is calculated based on the aggregate turnover within a specific financial year, not cumulatively across multiple years. If the turnover exceeds the limit during a financial year, GST will be applicable on the entire turnover for that year from the date of exceeding the threshold.
I seek your kind guidance on the following GST-related queries:
Threshold Limit Calculation: Is the GST threshold limit (₹20 lakhs for services and ₹40 lakhs for goods) determined based on the aggregate turnover within a particular financial year, or does it include the cumulative turnover of the entity across multiple financial years?
Taxable Turnover Upon Exceeding Threshold: In the event that the aggregate turnover crosses the applicable threshold limit in a financial year, will GST be applicable on: a) The entire turnover in that relevant financial year, or b) Only the turnover in excess of the threshold limit?
I would appreciate your expert advice on the above queries for better compliance.
