26 July 2025 This is a common GST issue with e-commerce platforms like Amazon.

### Here’s what you can do:

1. **Request a Revised Invoice with Your GSTIN:**

* Ideally, the seller (vendor) should issue a revised invoice mentioning your GSTIN for you to claim ITC.

2. **If Seller Refuses:**

* Since the vendor is registered and has charged GST but invoice doesn’t have your GSTIN, **you cannot claim ITC** because input tax credit requires a proper tax invoice showing your GSTIN.
* You also cannot pay tax under RCM (Reverse Charge Mechanism) because the vendor is registered and charging GST.

3. **Check if Amazon is the Supplier or Just a Platform:**

* If Amazon is the **registered supplier and charging GST**, then you should be able to get a proper invoice with GSTIN.
* If the **seller is a third party on Amazon**, you should request the seller for a proper GST invoice.

4. **Keep Communication Records:**

* Keep all correspondence with the seller for your records, to justify your position in case of any future scrutiny.

5. **Alternative:**

* If no proper invoice with your GSTIN is issued, you **cannot take ITC** on that purchase.
* Consider buying only from vendors who can provide GST-compliant invoices.

### Summary:

Without GSTIN on the invoice, **no ITC claim** is possible. RCM also doesn’t apply if the vendor is registered and charging GST.

You can push for a revised invoice but if they refuse, you may have to bear the cost without ITC.

If you want, I can help draft an email template requesting the revised invoice from the seller. Would you like that?
