Service tax on e-commerce marketplace

Hi, I'm planning to start an E-Commerce marketplace where I'll bring vendors/Manufacturers to online platform. I'll not be holding any inventory and Vendors will be directly shipping the items to customers. End customer will be paying on my website and I'll be paying to Vendors after deducting my commission. Do I need to pay any service tax? Thanks, Rohit

Great to hear that you wish to start an e-commerce business in India.


However, do not forget to comply with Indian laws, especially cyber
law of India. Otherwise you may be in trouble.

 

Here are the answers to your questions:


(1) E-Commerce Laws And Regulations In India

Do not take the legal aspects lightly as many companies are prosecuted in India these days.


Hope this serves your purpose.
