• Regarding Sole proprietorship registration

Hi , I am planning to set up an apparel business as a sole proprietorship entity . GST registration for online retailers has made it a little complicated for startups who are yet to see customer response etc . I wanted to know if Direct selling can be incorporated with sole proprietorship or it has to registered else ways. With direct selling , spreading into different states through a direct sales representative would attract GST ? Like , currently any business that is performed interstate will have to file Gst irrespective of the value of business , whereas if it is intrastate there is a limit of 20l/ annum.  And how would GST impact my business in such a scenario . I'd appreciate your guidance on this .

in inventory base model e commerce platform purchase goods from seller as normal purchase and then sell on platform thus in this case registration in not mandatory.

in other two models registration in mandatory,

in normal registration 3 returns monthly have to file and 1 annual return is required thus total 37 returns in a return are to be fill.

returns dates are GSTR1 10th of next month, GST2 15 of next month, GSTR3 20th of next month and Annual Return 20th Ocotber of next Financial year.

Hello,

I am sorry to say but I did not understand your last query which asks about tax slab ?

There is no tax slab in GST. It is to be paid to the government at a flat rate and input credit can be claimed there on your purchases.

Three monthly forms are to be filled every month i.e GSTR1, GSTR2, GSTR3. The due date to file the same is 10th, 15th & 20th of every month.

Please Notes that the dates are different for the month of July & August.

You are also required to form an extra form for the month of July & August since the GSTR forms are not yet updated by the govt.

Trust this clarifies your query.

Feel free to call / get back in case of further clarifications.

Thanking You.
