Online retailers face unique tax and financial complexities across multiple sales channels. Here's how we help you navigate them.
Selling across India means GST registration in multiple states, complex input tax credit reconciliation, and e-way bill management for interstate shipments.
Amazon, Flipkart, and other marketplaces each have different commission structures, settlement cycles, and TCS deductions that need careful tracking.
Stock spread across warehouses, FBA fulfillment centers, and vendors creates complex valuation challenges and impacts on working capital.
Multiple payment gateways, COD settlements, refunds, and chargebacks make revenue recognition and cash flow tracking extremely complex.
Marketplace fees, advertising costs, fulfillment charges, and promotional discounts need proper categorization for accurate margin analysis.
High return rates in e-commerce create reverse logistics costs, inventory adjustments, and complex GST credit note requirements.

Online sellers deal with marketplaces that collect tax and deduct tax before a rupee reaches the seller. Mismatches between platform reports, the bank and the returns are a common reason for notices.
Under Section 52 of the CGST Act, operators collect tax at source on the net value of taxable supplies made through the platform. The seller sees it in its GST return data and credits it to the electronic cash ledger, so unmatched amounts should be chased every month.
Operators deduct income tax on the gross amount of sales made through the platform. The deduction shows in Form 26AS, and a seller must reconcile it against its own books before filing the income-tax return.
Holding stock in fulfilment centres across states generally means registering in each state and filing returns for each. We map inventory flows so that stock transfers carry the right documents and tax treatment.
Settlement reports net off commissions, shipping, returns and tax collected. Posting only the bank credit hides these items and misstates revenue, so sales, returns and fees need to be booked from the platform reports.
High return rates mean many credit notes and adjustments in GSTR-1. Timing differences between the sale month and the return month are a frequent cause of mismatches.
Businesses above the notified turnover threshold must report invoices on the e-invoice portal, and goods movements need e-way bills. D2C brands selling on their own site are covered even if marketplace sales are handled by the platform.
We treat marketplace data as the starting point of the ledger. For a quick tax check, try the GST calculator, and for purchase-side credit matching see our GSTR-2B reconciliation tool.
Generally yes. Supplying goods through an e-commerce operator typically requires registration, with limited exceptions in the law. Check the position for your category before you start selling.
The operator collects a percentage of the net taxable value of your supplies and deposits it with the government. It is credited to your electronic cash ledger, from where you can use it against your tax liability.
Operators deduct income tax on payments to sellers for sales made through the platform, reported in Form 26AS. You adjust it against your income-tax liability and should keep the platform statements to support the claim.
A credit note is issued within the time allowed by law, and the tax is adjusted in your return. Because platform reports show returns with a lag, reconcile them monthly so the adjustment lands in the correct period.
Only if your aggregate turnover is above the notified threshold. The threshold has been lowered in stages, so confirm the current figure on the GST portal. Our e-invoice reconciliation tool helps match portal data.
