Why is GST registration necessary?
Nitin Sharma said that GST has replaced all the earlier taxes. Earlier, different types of taxes were levied, which have been subsumed in GST. If the annual turnover is Rs 40 lakh, or in some cases, more than Rs 20 lakh, then one is a taxpayer in the eyes of GST. Registration has to be done only to pay this tax. If one does business without registration, then it is a crime, and if caught, they may have to pay a heavy fine.
Trademark registration
If anyone starts a new company, then trademark registration is also necessary. This ensures that no one in the market can copy their name or a name similar to the name, the government fee is Rs 4,500, the non-proprietor fee is Rs 9,000 and the filing charge is Rs 1,500.
