What is GST?
GST stands for Goods and Services Tax. It's a tax you pay on goods and services you buy and sell. It's meant to replace many other taxes and make things simpler.
Why do you need a GST number?
If you want to sell products on platforms like Amazon and Flipkart, you need a GST number. This number is like an ID that shows you're registered to collect and pay GST.
How to get a GST number:
Watch MyOnlineCA(my preference) latest GST registration video or any YT video which you find relatable.
Using GST on Amazon and Flipkart:
Update your GSTIN: Once you have your GSTIN, update it on your seller accounts on Amazon and Flipkart.
Charge GST: When you sell products, you'll need to charge GST to your customers.(Use the search function to look up GST rates for specific goods or services.)
File returns: Regularly file GST returns to report your sales and the GST you've collected.
