GST for common businesses in Thinkalkarikkakom
These are the kinds of businesses we most often register in and around Thinkalkarikkakom, and what GST means for each.
Cashew processing & trade
Processors in Thinkalkarikkakom 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 Thinkalkarikkakom generally register once over the limit and exporters file an LUT.
Coir & coir products
Coir yarn, rope, mat and mattress units in Thinkalkarikkakom 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 Thinkalkarikkakom?
