Is GST registration and Sales from different states possible

Is GST registration and Sales from different states possible

I am a housewife and want to start a new small business. I want to sell custom items such as Apparels, coffee mugs in e-commerce platform such as Amazon, Flipkart. I am in the process of GST registration.

My husband is in a transferable job. And we have to move to different states every 1-2 years. We stay in rented apartments. And thus, my location will continue to change every 1-2 years. And many a times it's difficult to arrange residential proof for several official or banking needs.

Is it possible that I register my GST in my native state for which I have permanent address proof including Aadhar. And use this GST for any location I ship my products from. Because as far as I understand, GST return will be dependent on the state at which my buyers online are buying from.

Please advice on the issue.

You can provide your residential address as your native address but for GST registration you need to give the address of the place from where you would conduct the business and since you are going to change the state you need to take new registration every time you change the state as the jurisdiction, GST number everything would change.

GST is a combination of state and central law and not just central law.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you.

Dear Sir,

Hope you are doing well !!

GST registration number has to be obtained in each state, although the Permanent Account Number, PAN is same.

You need to get GST registration for your business location.

Hello,

You cannot change the State Jurisdiction as GST registration is State specific.

In case you are shifting your business to another state, you will have to surrender the existing registration and get a fresh registration in another state.

I hope this answer satisfies your requirements.

As you would know that GST registration is state specific. You need to take separate registrations if there are more than one state from which movement of goods starts.

However, in case you are planning to establish your place of business in one state i.e. your permanent address from where all the deliveries will be handled, present and future, then there is no requirement to take separate registrations for shifting to other states.
