Process of migrating existing indirect tax registration (VAT/CST, Service Tax, Excise) to Goods and Services Tax (GST) began on 8th November 2016 with window opening for few VAT states in the beginning followed by other states and Service Tax and Excise tax payers.
Government had set 31st March as deadline to migrate which was later extended to April 30th 2017. Over 60 lacs tax payers migrated to GST within this time frame. GST portal has expressed gratitude towards migrants by thanking them. It further adds that the Enrolment process has closed with effect from 1st May 2017. Data of all those who have signed the enrolment form will be migrated to the new GST System.
But the question of the hour is, what happens to those who have not migrated? Don’t worry, GST portal has an answer for you.
As per the GST portal, “The enrolment window will reopen at a later date for taxpayers who could not enrol themselves as well as for those who enrolled but did not sign the enrolment form.”
