What is GST Registration for Foreigners?
GST Registration for Foreigners usually refers to GST registration for a non-resident taxable person who occasionally supplies goods or services in India but has no fixed place of business or residence in India.
Who is a Non-Resident Taxable Person under GST?
A non-resident taxable person is a person who occasionally undertakes transactions involving supply of goods or services in India, whether as principal, agent or otherwise, but does not have a fixed place of business or residence in India.
Which form is used for foreigner GST registration?
A non-resident taxable person applies for GST registration in FORM GST REG-09 through the GST Portal. The application includes legal name, PAN if available, passport or foreign tax identification details and India business details.
When should a foreigner apply for GST registration in India?
A non-resident taxable person should apply for GST registration at least five days before commencing business in India.
How long is GST registration valid for a foreigner?
Registration as a non-resident taxable person is granted for the period specified in the application or up to 90 days, whichever is earlier. It may be extended once for an additional period of up to 90 days if applied before expiry.
Is advance tax deposit required for foreigner GST registration?
Yes. A non-resident taxable person must make an advance deposit of tax equivalent to the estimated tax liability for the registration period. Extension also requires additional advance tax deposit for the extended period.
Can a foreigner apply without PAN?
Form GST REG-09 allows passport number where PAN is not available, and also asks for tax identification number or unique number used to identify the entity by the foreign government.
Can a non-resident taxable person choose composition scheme?
No. Non-resident taxable persons are not allowed to opt for the composition scheme under GST.
Which GST return is filed by a non-resident taxable person?
A registered non-resident taxable person files return in FORM GSTR-5 electronically through the GST Portal for the relevant tax period.
Is a local authorised signatory needed?
A foreign applicant should provide authorised signatory details for GST portal verification and communication. In many practical cases, an India-based authorised person or professional support is used for smooth filing and follow-up.
Is GST registration for foreigners same as normal GST registration?
