GST for common businesses in Purakkad
These are the kinds of businesses we most often register in and around Purakkad, and what GST means for each.
Coir & coir products
Coir yarn, rope, mat and mattress units in Purakkad register once sales cross the limit or when they supply buyers outside Kerala. Societies and private units exporting through Kochi usually register early and file an LUT so exports go out without tax.
Homestays, resorts & houseboats
Homestays, resorts, houseboats, tour operators and taxi services in Purakkad need GST registration once turnover from services crosses ₹20 lakh. Tour operators and travel agents booking for business clients often register earlier so clients can claim credit.
Fisheries & seafood
Fresh fish is exempt, so a seller dealing only in fresh fish is not required to register. Dry fish, frozen and processed seafood, ice plants, boats and nets are handled differently, so processors, peeling sheds and exporters in Purakkad generally register once over the limit and exporters file an LUT.

- 1Turnover above the limitBusinesses in Purakkad with aggregate turnover above ₹40 lakh (only goods) or ₹20 lakh (services or both) in a financial year. Kerala uses the normal limits (₹10 lakh applies only in a few special category States).
