Benefits of GST Registration

Low tax rates on services will be a big boost for growth sector’s, although the biggest impact on the economy would come from removing exemptions on manufacturing.
It reduces the amount of resources needed to transport goods, as well as the size of storage locations needed for them.
States and centers will no longer be able to give tax exemptions. Fewer items will fit the bill for tax-free status.
Our revenues will increase – now the State and Central government are jointly regulating tax exempt goods. The number of products that are tax exempt will be reduced, which should lead to higher revenue for businesses in general.
