Gst applicability if i purchase and sell outside india

761 views 2 replies

Hi,

So I recently started my own ecommerce business and I am doing well in it. My business model is that I source and store in China and then it is directly sent to customers in Europe & USA. So as far as I understand, GST will not be applicable to me. and I repatriate funds to my account through Paypal as a payment provider. Now my invoice to customers would have my address in India on the bill and my supplier would also draw a bill in my name but the goods never enter India. They are bought and sold outside India.

Can someone help me with this problem? Now my Payment Provider also started charging GST on his fees, so do I get a GST number to get Input credit/Refund for their fees. However, will I have to mention GST number on the invoice I send to customers as well? This is really confusing and I am not able to understand how to take it forward.

For E-commerce business GST registration is mandatory.
But what about GST liability, I should not be liable for any input credit or output taxation right? Or do I have to file nil returns?
