GST liability of branch

As per GST regulations, if you have a presence in multiple states, you'll need to consider the following: GST Registration Requirements: - *Voluntary Registration in State 1*: Since you're voluntarily registering for GST in State 1, you'll need to obtain a GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) for that state. - *GST Registration in State 2*: Even if all bills are raised from State 1, you may still need to register for GST in State 2 if: - *You have a fixed establishment*: If you have a fixed establishment, such as a branch or office, in State 2, you'll need to register for GST in that state. - *You're liable for GST*: If your business is liable for GST in State 2, regardless of the billing address, you'll need to register for GST in that state. Key Considerations: - *Place of Supply*: Determine the place of supply for your goods or services. If the place of supply is State 2, you may need to register for GST in that state. - *GST Liability*: Assess your GST liability in State 2. If you're liable for GST, you'll need to register, regardless of the billing address. To ensure compliance with GST regulations, consult a tax professional or chartered accountant who can assess your specific situation and provide guidance on GST registration requirements for both states.
