GST for common businesses in Veliyam
What GST means for the typical businesses of Veliyam and the wider Kollam district:
Cashew processing & trade
Processors in Veliyam 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 Veliyam generally register once over the limit and exporters file an LUT.
Coir & coir products
Coir yarn, rope, mat and mattress units in Veliyam 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 Veliyam?
- 1Turnover above the limitBusinesses in Veliyam 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 Veliyam to buyers outside Kerala, for example spices, cashew, coir or rubber products sent to Chennai, Bengaluru or Mumbai, whatever the turnover.
