E-commerce has revolutionized the way people purchase goods and services. People now have access to a wide range of products and services from across the globe, and they can purchase them from the comfort of their homes. However, the rise of e-commerce has also led to the need for tax regulations, and this is where the Goods and Services Tax (GST) comes in. GST is a comprehensive tax that is levied on goods and services, and it is designed to replace all indirect taxes in India.
GST is a tax that is levied on the supply of goods and services. It is a comprehensive tax that is designed to replace all indirect taxes in India. GST is a multi-stage tax that is imposed at every stage of production and distribution of goods and services. It is divided into two parts – Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST). CGST is levied by the central government, and SGST is levied by the state government. The GST Council is responsible for deciding the GST rates for different goods and services.
E-commerce has become a popular platform for shopping in India. According to a report by Statista, India's e-commerce market is expected to reach US$200 billion by 2026. E-marketplaces websites have become the go-to place for people to purchase goods and services from across the globe.
Under the GST regime, e-commerce has been brought under the tax net. E-marketplaces websites are now required to collect GST on the supplies made by their vendors. This means that when a vendor sells goods or services on an e-marketplace website, the website is required to collect GST on behalf of the vendor.
Under the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) of GST, the liability to pay tax is shifted from the supplier of goods and services to the recipient of goods and services. This means that when a vendor sells goods or services on an e-marketplace website, the website is required to pay GST on the commission charged on global sales.
The e-marketplace website is considered to be the recipient of the services provided by the vendor. Therefore, the e-marketplace website is required to pay GST under RCM on the commission charged on global sales.
