Facts
From 1 October 2023 the law allows composition taxpayers to supply goods within their State through e-commerce operators, subject to conditions. Inter-State supply is still not allowed.
Provisions and law
- Sec 10(2), CGST Act 2017Composition is not available to service providers (other than restaurants), inter-State suppliers, sellers of non-taxable goods, manufacturers of notified goods, and certain e-commerce suppliers.
- Sec 24, CGST Act 2017Lists persons who must register regardless of turnover, such as inter-State suppliers of goods, casual and non-resident taxable persons, reverse charge payers, e-commerce sellers and operators, and Input Service Distributors, subject to notified exemptions.
Analysis
The operator collects TCS on your sales, which is credited to your cash ledger and can be used to pay CMP-08 tax. Restrict deliveries to your own State in the seller settings. Service providers under composition still have limits on e-commerce. Check the latest notification and marketplace rules.
Conclusion
- Check conditions for composition sellers on e-commerce.
- Restrict shipping to your State.
- Track TCS credited in your cash ledger.
- Report e-commerce sales in CMP-08.
