Does freelancer need to get GST number and file return if turnover is not more than 20 lac?

Hi,

Hope you are doing well !!

You need to get GST registration only if your turnover/receipts exceeds the basic exemption limit I.e 20 lakhs..

Hi

No, since your turnover is less than 20 lacs, you don't need a GST registration.

No freelancer is only required to have GST registration if the turnover is above 20 lakh.

And since you are not required to have registration you are not required to file return.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Hello,

You will be required to register under GST only if you cross the threshold limit of Rs. 20 Lakhs gross receipts.

I hope that this answer satisfies your requirements.

Hello Sir,

As per the exemption specifically provided to Service providers only through notification No. 10/2017, A service provider is required register under GST and file return only if their aggregate turnover exceeds Rs 20 lakhs. Even if, they provide services on Inter-state basis, they are not required to do GST registration unless the aggregate turnover cross Rs 20 lakhs.

In your case, Since your turnover is less than Rs 20 lakhs, you dont need to get a GST registration.
