• Drop-shipping

Drop-shipping Model:
I will be drop shipping the products from China to the USA
( Any products won't be sold or advertised in India )

Kindly help me with the below queries,

1. I currently do have a GST number for my Pvt Ltd Ecommerce company can I use the same GST number and my current bank account number for my Drop-shipping Business?
2. Do I need to pay any GST or file any GST returns for the products sold through my Drop-shipping business model?
3. Is there any other TAX that I need to pay for Drop-shipping business?
Looking forward to your reply.

1. Yes you can use the same company for dropshipping business. 

2. In dropshipping business, there is no physical movement of goods in Indian territory. There is no import or export of goods. No GST is payable either on import or export of goods. As you will do the supplies through the existing GST no., you have to show the export under the exempt supplies.

 

3. Income tax. 

 

For more detailed discussion, you may have a phone consultation.

You will not need GST No for Drop Shipping Business. I would advise that you use separate account for drop shipping business so that things are not complicated.

You will have to file returns for your E Commerce business and include dropshipping turnover in exports after filing an LUT.

Income Tax will be applicable on revenue from drop shipping business.
