When you must register
Registration is compulsory once taxable supplies exceed the annual threshold set by TAJ (confirm the current figure with the Sav Tax Office).
Steps
- Complete the GCT registration application at TAJ.
- Supply TRN, business registration and bank details.
- Once registered, file the monthly GCT return and pay by the due date (last working day of the following month).
Tips
- Keep every supplier invoice with a GCT number — that is your input credit.
- Late filing penalties add up fast; set a monthly reminder.
