GST Registration for Foreign Companies

In the first step, a foreign individual has to submit a duly signed application through form GST REG-9 along with a self-attested copy of passport at least 5 days before the commencement of business in India.

In the second step, you have to share the following details – Bank account details, Visa details, Residence address proof of the foreign country and location of the business entity.

Thirdly, Make sure that the application must be signed by an authorized signatory who is a resident in India and having a valid PAN.

Every foreigner has to deposit tax in advance by estimating the tax liability for the registration period. The registration for a foreign individual is valid for 90 days from the date of registration but it may be extended further for another 90 days after filing the form GST REG-11.

After getting registered properly, every foreign company needs to file monthly GST return via Form GSTR-5 by 20^th of the next month or within 7 days after expiration of GST registration (whichever is earlier).
