GST for common businesses in Kodikulam
These are the kinds of businesses we most often register in and around Kodikulam, and what GST means for each.

Tea & coffee plantations
Estates selling only unprocessed leaf or cherry from their own land are treated as agriculturists for that sale. Estates with factories, curing works, packers and traders in Kodikulam usually register, because buyers and auction systems expect a GSTIN.

Homestays, resorts, houseboats, tour operators and taxi services in Kodikulam 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.
