Dear Sir,

A persons who supply goods and/or services, other than certain services as may be prescribed, through electronic commerce operator, has to take registration under GST irrespective of the threshold specified.

Further, e-commerce operator has a liability to charge TCS from the seller.

Please feel free to call/ revert in case of any doubts

Thanks and Regards

Hii

There are many scenarios under which ecommerce business run

1 if you purchase from seller and sell via ecommerce then they are not required for gst registration

2 if they directly bill to customer using ur platform then they must required gst even if there aggregate turnover is below 20/10 lakhs

And you have to deduct TCS from his payment and also required to fill gst return and inform govt to about each dealer sells through your platform

this type of practice no more after GST, in GST proposed scenarios are

1 aggregator have to pay GST such as OLA, Ubber Model

2 aggregator have to pay GST ( Purchase from Supplier and sale online)

3 aggregator have to pay TCS if bills are issuing in the name of customer directly but payment are collected by aggregator.

in GST regime almost all transactions covered under GST

Hello Sir,

GST registrations are still not live. I am amazed as to how did you get register under GST and have also started charging the same.

I assume you are talking about VAT/ Service Tax ?
