GST for common businesses in Arattupuzha
What GST means for the typical businesses of Arattupuzha and the wider Alappuzha district:
Coir & coir products
Coir yarn, rope, mat and mattress units in Arattupuzha 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 Arattupuzha 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 Arattupuzha generally register once over the limit and exporters file an LUT.
Who needs GST registration in Arattupuzha?
- 1Turnover above the limitBusinesses in Arattupuzha 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).
