The City of Palaces and Karnataka's cultural capital — Mysuru is the home of the world-famous Mysore silk, India's top agarbatti production hub, and a major chemical and paper manufacturing centre.

Our CA team at TaxAMC provides expert, fast, and affordable GST Registration services across Mysuru and surrounding areas.

1. Who Must Register for GST in Mysuru?

As per the GST Act, 2017, the following businesses in Mysuru must mandatorily register for GST:

• Turnover threshold: Annual turnover above ₹40 lakh for goods suppliers; above ₹20 lakh for service providers in Karnataka
• Interstate suppliers: Mysuru businesses supplying goods or services to other states — regardless of turnover
• E-commerce sellers: All sellers on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, or any online marketplace — mandatory regardless of annual turnover
• Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM): Businesses receiving specified supplies on which they must pay GST under RCM
• Importers and exporters: Any Mysuru business engaged in cross-border trade of goods or services
• Casual taxable persons: Those making occasional taxable supplies in or from Mysuru
• Agents of registered suppliers operating in Mysuru

Even below the threshold, voluntary GST registration is advisable for B2B businesses in Mysuru — unregistered suppliers cannot issue tax invoices, which blocks buyers' ITC claims and frequently costs businesses their largest client contracts.
