Taxation applicable on local store selling via our own e-shop

We have a local "mini-mart". During the lockdowns, we decided to make a webshop so that our customers could order online and we deliver to their places. 

The mini-mart is run as a proprietorship. All income taxes, GST, other shop related taxes are duly paid. 

We are well aware of the taxation needs for the physical store. But we wish to understand if any *special* (GST, any other? etc.,) taxes are applicable for selling online via our own e-store?

We read about ecommerce tax laws etc. and it is confusing because it is mostly targeted to platforms like Flipkart, etc.

But what about our case - local store selling online via own e-shop?

Quick Summary
A local mini-mart operating as a proprietorship, already paying all necessary taxes for its physical store, is seeking clarity on specific taxation for its own e-shop. The discussion clarifies that for GST purposes, selling through one's own website doesn't incur separate compliance requirements compared to selling from a physical shop. Additional compliances like TCS typically apply only when selling through third-party e-commerce operators.

In GST, there is no separate provision for " Person selling online via own e-shop (own website).
There doesn't make any difference, whether you are selling from your local shop, or sale through your own website.

There is separate provision (extra compliance like TCS ect.) if you are selling through e commerce operators.. like through flipkart, ebay ect.

But In your case no separate compliance under GST as you supply through own website.

Thank you for clearing this up. 

Most welcome 😊
