Do I Need To Pay GST, If I am Selling from India, and getting paid via PayPal

Hi Team,

I need to know, Do I Need To Pay GST, If I am Selling from India, and getting paid via PayPal on Etsy. I have seen my last 2 sales, and I get paid via PayPal, and in one transaction, my product charged GST, and in another it doesn't, so guide me for the same.

Looking ahead to your response as soon as possible.

Regards,

Hi @mavenwit,

Thank you for posting your question in the Community! In India, GST will be applicable on PayPal fees for all transactions. We usually share a consolidated GST invoice at the end of every month.

I hope this helps to clarify things a bit more.

Hi @PayPal_Marina 

Thank You for responding. Yes I know, that we have to pay GST to our paypal fees, on our service or product sales, as we used to get paid our affiliate earnings from the platforms as well here on PayPal, for which GST is not payable. 

I am not understanding, how can we pay GST for our Etsy products sales, as we charge GST specifically on each product as well, on etsy, and in some countries customers pay GST, sometimes they don't as per the law.

It kinda confusing, can you please share some insights.
