I am starting ecommerce business like flipkart where i manage transactions ,Buyer make a payment online which will be credited to my account and will process seller money to his/her account after some days . I want to know whether GST is to be paid by only seller / both seller and ecommerce operator .
It is mandatory for the sellers selling through ecommerce to take GST registration. However, for the time being, there has been a relaxation provided for small sellers who have turnover below 20 lakhs.
The registered sellers shall pay GST on the sale amount.
The e-commerce operator shall pay GST on his commission. And also on the sale by unregistered dealers.
Also, there are TDS TCS provisions for e-commerce operator. But these are not applicable right now.
As per sec 9(5) of the CGST Act, ecommerce operator have to pay GST on reverse charge from seller.
Kindly let me know if you require further assistance
Hi,
Both e-commerce seller and e-commerce company has to get registered under GST.
Seller will pay GST on sale amount and e-commerce operator will pay GST on it's commission. There are TDS provision also which has been deferred.
Hello,
The seller registered on your portal will be charging GST on the sale value to the customer while you will have to charge GST on your commission to the registered seller.
Trust this clarifies your query.
Feel free to call / get back in case of further clarifications.
Thanking You.

HI,
Firstly, the seller registered on your ID should be registered under GST.
They will be charging GST on the sales amount and you will charge them GST on your commission component.
