Do You Need GST for Interstate E-commerce Sales? Threshold Exemptions
Learn about GST registrations for online sellers and recent updates on interstate trade exemptions.
Interstate Sales & GST
Generally, any interstate supply triggers mandatory GST registration. However, recent exemptions allow small e-commerce sellers with turnover below ₹40 Lakhs (goods) or ₹20 Lakhs (services) to conduct interstate trade without immediate registration under strict conditions.
Special Voluntary Registration
Even if you fall below the exemption threshold, voluntary GST registration is recommended if you sell on platforms like Amazon or Flipkart. This allows you to claim credit on storage, warehousing, and platform commission charges.
