This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A business owner is looking to launch a new line of food products alongside their existing soap and cosmetics business. They want to know if they can use a separate trade name for the new venture, with distinct billing and a separate place of business, all under the same legal entity (PAN). The advice suggests that using an additional trade name is possible, and depending on whether the new location is in the same state, they can either add a branch to the existing GST registration or opt for an additional GST registration.

One of my friend is running a Proprietary business dealing in soaps and other cosmetics. Now,
he wants to sell Batter and other food items with a separate place of business. Can he go for Additional Trade name and use that Trade name exclusively, for his additional place of Business and do billing separately, while the previous line of business, viz. soap and cosmetics will continue to run under the Original Trade name. i.e two different trade names for different line of business with separate place of business for each under same Legal Name ( PAN ).

Or should he go for additional GST registration for the same PAN. Pls. Advice.

03 March 2025 you can use another trade name and take additional GST if you want to. In case both the sites are in the same state, you can add a branch too to the existing GST

05 March 2025 it does not matter as long as you are mentioning the GST on your invoice.
