The problems that actually trip up online sellers

Marketplace selling adds layers of tax complexity a typical retail business doesn't deal with.

TCS deducted by marketplaces not matching your books

Every marketplace deducts TCS under Section 52, and reconciling it against your own records is where discrepancies usually show up.

GST registration in every state you sell from

Storing inventory in a marketplace's fulfillment centers across states can trigger registration requirements you didn't expect.

Reconciling payout reports against invoices

Marketplace payout reports rarely map cleanly to your invoices once fees, returns, and adjustments are factored in.

Returns & refunds complicating GST liability

A returned order after GST has already been reported needs to be adjusted correctly in a later return.

Composition vs regular GST scheme

The right scheme depends on your turnover and margins — and it's not always the one that seems simplest.

Tax treatment of commissions & ad spend

Marketplace commissions and advertising spend are deductible, but need to be tracked and classified properly.

Not sure which of these apply to you? Book a consultation and we'll walk through your specific situation.

Questions

Frequently asked

01I sell on Amazon and Flipkart — do I need to reconcile TCS from both separately?

Yes — each marketplace deducts and reports TCS independently, so both need to be checked against your books before filing your GST returns.

02My inventory is stored in a fulfillment center in another state — do I need to register there?

Likely yes, since storing stock in a state generally creates a place of business there for GST purposes. We can confirm based on where your inventory actually sits.

03A customer returned an order after I already reported the sale — what now?

It gets adjusted in a subsequent GST return through a credit note. We track these adjustments so nothing falls through the cracks at year-end.

04Should I be on the composition scheme instead of regular GST?

It depends on your turnover, margins, and whether your buyers need input tax credit from you — composition isn't always the simpler win it looks like. We can run the comparison.
