GST for common businesses in Thalanadu
Businesses in Thalanadu mostly fall into a few groups. Here is when each one needs GST registration.
Rubber trade & processing
Growers selling sheet rubber or latex from their own holdings are agriculturists and generally don't need GST for that sale. Rubber dealers, sheet processing and smoke-house units, and latex-based manufacturers in Thalanadu register once over the limit, and buyers in other States insist on a GSTIN.
Wholesale & retail trade
Supermarkets, wholesalers, hardware, textile and electronics shops in Thalanadu 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.
Clinics, pharmacies & coaching
Healthcare services by clinics and doctors are largely exempt, but pharmacies, medical equipment dealers, Ayurveda product makers and coaching centres in Thalanadu are taxable and register once they cross the limit.
