Introduction
Not all coaches or organisations are required to register under GST. If you are not GST registered, Lynk allows you to proceed with payments by submitting a GST exemption declaration.
This declaration is a mandatory confirmation that your business is legally exempt from GST registration based on your annual turnover and applicable tax rules.
When GST Declaration Is Required
You will be asked to submit a GST declaration if:
You do not enter a GST number during bank setup
Your annual aggregate turnover is below the GST registration threshold
You are exempt under applicable GST notifications
Without either a GST number or a GST declaration, bank details cannot be saved.
Where GST Declaration Appears
The GST declaration option appears during:
Profile → Bank Details
It is shown alongside the GST number field while adding or editing bank details.
How to Submit GST Declaration
Open the Profile section in the Lynk app
Go to Bank Details
Fill in your bank account and PAN details
Leave the GST Number field empty
Tick the checkbox stating “I declare I am exempt from GST registration”
Review the declaration message
Tap Save Bank Details
Once saved, the declaration is recorded against your account.
What the GST Declaration Means
By submitting the declaration, you confirm that:
Your annual aggregate turnover is below the GST threshold
You are exempt from GST registration as per applicable tax laws
Lynk can process settlements without GST-linked invoicing
This declaration is required for compliance and audit purposes.
Important Notes
GST declaration is mandatory if GST number is not provided
Declaration replaces GST details for settlement eligibility
Incorrect declaration may lead to compliance issues
You can update GST details later if your registration status changes
What Happens After Declaration
Your bank details are accepted and saved
Payment settlements are enabled
Invoices and processing follow non-GST rules
No further action is required unless your GST status changes.
Summary
If you are not GST registered, Lynk requires a GST exemption declaration during bank setup. By ticking the declaration checkbox and saving your details, you confirm compliance eligibility and enable smooth payment settlements without providing a GST number.
