GST for common businesses in Vilakkudy
These are the kinds of businesses we most often register in and around Vilakkudy, and what GST means for each.
Cashew processing & trade
Processors in Vilakkudy that buy raw (unshelled) cashew nuts directly from farmers pay that GST themselves under reverse charge, so they must register whatever their turnover. Kernel traders and exporters also need a GSTIN, and exporters file a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) to export without paying tax.
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 Vilakkudy generally register once over the limit and exporters file an LUT.
Coir & coir products
Coir yarn, rope, mat and mattress units in Vilakkudy 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.
Who needs GST registration in Vilakkudy?
- 1Turnover above the limitBusinesses in Vilakkudy 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).
- 2Selling goods to other StatesAnyone supplying goods from Vilakkudy to buyers outside Kerala, for example spices, cashew, coir or rubber products sent to Chennai, Bengaluru or Mumbai, whatever the turnover.
- 3Online sellersSellers of goods on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho and similar platforms selling across States. Small sellers supplying only within Kerala can use an enrolment number instead.
Turnover counts all your businesses under the same PAN across India, including exempt sales. Farmers selling only their own produce don't need GST registration.
