Clarification on GST Applicability for Small Service Providers

You must apply for GST within 30 days of crossing the ₹20 lakh turnover mark. Once registered, you can issue revised invoices to collect tax for services provided during the application period.

For service providers, GST registration is mandatory only when aggregate turnover crosses ₹20 lakh in a financial year (₹10 lakh in special category states like Uttarakhand and the North-East).

However, if you make any inter-state supply of services, even a single invoice to a client in another state, registration is compulsory regardless of turnover. Voluntary registration is worth considering if your clients are GST-registered businesses, as it allows them to claim input tax credit on your invoices
