GST filing for ecommerce shipping internationally

Dear Sir,

As a question is from USA, I suppose you are doing e-commerce business from USA using facebook/instagram. You are not supposed to register under GST and pay GST in India. As you said you are paying to your suppliers, I again suppose that you are purchasing the goods from different countries incl. India where GST is applicable. You are engaged in export and domestic sales in USA so person who will import from you in India will be liable to pay taxes depending on the nature of transactions i.e. B2B or B2C. If its is B2B then importer needs to pay GST otherwise not.

Thanks

Dear Sir,

If they are working from India then they need to obtain GST registration in India under the category e-commerce irrespective of any threshold limit of turnover. In case of e-commerce operator there is no applicability of turnover threshold limit as applicable in case of normal suppliers. You need to check GST rate on garments. I think for value below Rs.1000, GST rate is 5% otherwise 12%. You need to charge GST for domestic sales and in case of export sale, you can export without payment of taxes after obtaining LUT which can be applied online. Also, you can claim the ITC (Input Tax credit) on raw material against the output tax liability at the time of payment of taxes.

I may help them in obtaining GST registration and in filing of GST returns.

You can reach me at

Thanks

Hi

Since you've been charged GST on the purchases, you can claim ITC on the same.

For sales in India, charge GST in the invoices to the customers and pay accordingly.

For sales outside India, you can't charge GST on the invoices. Apply for LuT and export without payment of IGST.

You can claim ITC of GST paid on all the purchases. If there is accumulated GST, unutilized for sales in India, you can claim its refund.

Hi,

Hope you are doing well !

For sales in India, you need to charge GST on invoices.

For sales outside India, apply for LUT and export without payment of GST.

Also, you can claim ITC of GST paid on all purchases and claim refund of unutilized GST for sales in India.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

You can claim ITC of all the GST that you have paid on the purchases and can also claim refund of the unutilised componenet of GST for the sales in India.

You will need to charge GST on invoices for all sales in India.

For sales outside India, you should apply for LUT.

Nikhil.

Hi,

Let me first clarify you that GST is not applicable to you in case your total turnover is less than 20 lacs per annum.

Based, on the recommendation of 23rd GST council meeting, the exemption of 20 lacs has also been provided to e-commerce seller.

In case your turnover is more than 20 lacs, then you will have to charge 5% GST for clothes below 1000 and 12% for others domestic sales. For sales outside India, you can take LUT and then export without payment of taxes.

Abhishek can you please share the copy of notification where it is specified.

Hi

As I understand that your are registered under GST and paying taxes on you purchases and want to know that whether you have to pay GST on your sales made to foreign parties.

Please be noted that your supply to foreign party will be treated as export supply and your are not required to pay GST on your sale to foreign party.

If you are registered under GST then you also have to file LUT/bond to avail exemption so you will not be required to pay taxes.

Hope it will be helpful
