GST for common businesses in Palakkayam
Businesses in Palakkayam mostly fall into a few groups. Here is when each one needs GST registration.
Farm produce, agri-inputs & food
Farmers selling their own paddy, coconut, banana or vegetables don't need GST registration. Fertiliser and pesticide dealers, rice mills, coconut oil mills and traders in Palakkayam need it once they cross the limit, while businesses dealing only in exempt items are not required to register.
Transport, warehousing & logistics
Goods transport agencies whose services are taxed under reverse charge (paid by business customers) may not need registration, but most fleet owners, warehouses, courier franchises and clearing agents in Palakkayam register to work with companies and claim input tax credit where allowed.
Wholesale & retail trade
Supermarkets, wholesalers, hardware, textile and electronics shops in Palakkayam register once turnover crosses ₹40 lakh, or earlier to buy from bigger distributors with input tax credit. Traders below ₹1.5 crore can choose the composition scheme and pay a small fixed percentage of turnover instead.
