🧾 Amazon GST Registration: A Step-by-Step Guide for Sellers in India
To sell products on Amazon India, GST registration is mandatory for most categories. Whether you’re a new seller or an existing offline retailer going online, understanding how GST applies on Amazon is crucial for compliance and smooth operations.
At Infobeam Solution, we help Amazon sellers get GST-registered, list products, and manage compliance effortlessly.
📌 Why is GST Registration Important for Amazon Sellers?
GST (Goods and Services Tax) is India’s unified indirect tax system. If you sell on Amazon:
-
You must have a valid GSTIN (except in exempt categories).
-
Amazon collects TCS (Tax Collected at Source) under GST.
-
You need to file monthly and annual returns.
📦 Without GST, you can’t sell on Amazon (except for exempt goods like books or unstitched fabric).
✅ Who Needs GST for Amazon Selling?
You need GST registration if:
-
You are selling taxable products
-
Your annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs (₹20 lakhs for NE states)
-
You sell interstate via e-commerce platforms
🛑 Voluntary registration is also allowed even if your turnover is below the threshold.
