Have VAT but not Service registration, After migration do I need to apply separately?

[Asked by Guest]

Hi,
I am a trader and have VAT registration. I was planning to get the service tax registration but didn't do it because of GST being rolled out soon.

After I will be migrated to GST, do I have to file any separate document in order to expand my business activity by including services along with existing trading activities or I can just simply start rendering services and charge service tax as applicable under GST law?

AI Summary

GST registration covers goods and services and allows starting service supplies without separate post-migration application, subject to threshold rules.
When migrated to GST, a VAT registrant need not file a separate application to supply services because GST registration covers both goods and services. The registrant must use the GST invoice format and file monthly returns. The statutory threshold exemption for intra state supplies remains relevant; registration is ordinarily required only when turnover exceeds the applicable State threshold. Practical questions remain about issuing tax invoices or bills of supply, disclosure of below threshold status, composition option, and the effect of registration on entitlement to the threshold exemption.
