Hence a business whose annual turnover exceeded Rs 10 lakhs has to mandatorily register under GST and begin to charge GST to their customers which will then to be paid to the government every month along with filing of GST Returns.
Deputy Director Industries & Commerce, Keneirienuo Theunuo welcomed the attendees while Additional Commissioner CGST, Sashi Wapang and Chartered Accountant Rohan Abraham were the resource persons for the workshop. It was followed by an interactive Q&A session.
