Multi-state GST · TCS on marketplace · Inventory audit
Retail and e-commerce businesses typically operate across multiple states and sales channels, which multiplies the compliance surface area considerably. Our multi-state GST registration and compliance work is built for exactly that reality, and our TCS compliance for e-commerce marketplace sellers practice handles the specific withholding obligations that come with selling through online marketplaces — including reconciling the TCS a marketplace collects and reports on your behalf against what actually shows up in your own GSTR-8 and books.
Because retail inventory turns over quickly and across locations, our physical inventory verification and shrinkage audit work is a recurring part of many retail engagements, not a one-off exercise. We also advise on omni-channel GST — the place-of-supply complexities that arise when the same product moves through online and offline channels — and on franchise structure tax planning for retail businesses expanding through a franchise model.
At scale, the real work is reconciliation: matching sales recorded across marketplace payouts, payment gateway settlements and your own books, where timing differences between "sold," "settled," and "booked" routinely account for more discrepancy than any single transaction ever does. We build that reconciliation into a recurring process rather than a year-end scramble.
