Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. All sellers selling through e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, or any marketplace are required to register for GST regardless of their turnover. The normal GST exemption threshold (Rs.40 lakh for goods, Rs.20 lakh for services) does not apply to marketplace sellers. This is because the marketplace operator (Amazon/Flipkart) deducts TCS and requires a GSTIN to deposit it against your account. Registration must be obtained before you start selling on any marketplace.
TCS — Tax Collected at Source — under GST (Section 394 of the IGST Act, previously Section 52 of CGST Act) requires e-commerce operators to collect 1% of the net taxable sales made through their platform and deposit it with the government. This TCS appears as a credit in your Electronic Cash Ledger on the GST portal (Form 26AS for GST) and can be used against your GST liability. If your outward GST liability is lower than the TCS collected, the excess becomes a refund. Reconciling TCS across multiple platforms is complex and is a common source of errors.
E-commerce sellers can claim ITC on: GST paid on advertising spend (Amazon Sponsored Ads, Flipkart Ads), packaging materials, warehouse rent and services, courier and logistics charges (if GST is charged), CA and professional fees, platform subscription fees (if GST is applicable), and office expenses. ITC cannot be claimed on personal expenses or items used for personal consumption. ITC is available only if the vendor has filed their GST returns correctly and your GSTR-2B reflects the purchase.
If Amazon is storing your inventory in its FCs (Fulfilment Centres) in multiple states, you are required to register for GST in each state where your inventory is held. Amazon's FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) model triggers a mandatory multi-state registration requirement because goods move between states from the FC. If you are shipping directly from your own warehouse in one state, only one-state registration is needed. We help assess your FC footprint and manage multi-state registrations accordingly.
Yes. D2C brands selling through their own website (Shopify, WooCommerce) have a different compliance profile than marketplace sellers — there is no TCS deduction, you are responsible for collecting and remitting GST directly on each sale, payment gateway reconciliation is manual, and returns/chargebacks must be handled through credit notes. For brands also selling to overseas customers, FEMA compliance for receipt of foreign exchange and Form 15CA/15CB for repatriation may be required. We handle the full D2C compliance stack.
