Mangaluru-Specific Questions

Frequently Asked Questions —
GST Registration in Mangaluru

These FAQs are tailored to Mangaluru's unique business landscape — tiles, cashew, port, IT, and Dakshina Kannada trade.

Yes, absolutely. A Letter of Undertaking (LUT) must be filed on the GST portal at the start of every financial year (April 1) before exporting under zero-rated supply without paying IGST. Without a valid LUT, your tiles export shipment through New Mangalore Port may be held up at customs. Our team handles LUT renewal automatically for all our Mangaluru tiles exporter clients.
Raw cashew nuts (HSN 0801) are nil-rated under GST — no tax on purchase. However, processed cashew kernels (HSN 0801.32) attract 5% GST on domestic sale. For export, cashew processors get zero-rated status. They can claim full ITC (Input Tax Credit) refund on GST paid for processing expenses like electricity, packaging, and capital goods — making GST registration beneficial even for small cashew units in Mangaluru.
Mangaluru falls under the Dakshina Kannada jurisdiction of the Karnataka State GST authority (SGST). Under the dual GST structure, both CGST (Central) and SGST (Karnataka State) apply on domestic transactions, while IGST applies on interstate and export transactions. New businesses in Mangaluru register once on gst.gov.in — both CGST and KGST registrations are automatically issued under the single GSTIN number.
Yes. Hotels, homestays, and beach resorts near Mangaluru, Ullal, and the Dakshina Kannada coast can voluntarily register for GST even below the ₹20 lakh threshold. Voluntary registration helps them issue proper GST invoices to corporate clients, claim ITC on hotel renovation and equipment, and appear more credible on platforms like MakeMyTrip and Booking.com which prefer GST-registered properties.
Services related to transportation of goods by vessels (ocean freight on imports) are generally taxable at 5% GST on a reverse charge basis. Port handling charges (stevedoring, storage, pilotage) attract 18% GST. CHA (Custom House Agent) services are taxed at 18%. All port-linked service providers in New Mangalore Port area must register for GST and can claim ITC on eligible input services.
Yes. The GST Commissionerate Mangaluru (under CGST Mysuru Zone) handles central tax matters, while the Karnataka State GST office in Mangaluru handles state tax matters. However, all GST registration applications are processed 100% online via gst.gov.in — you never need to visit either office. Officers review and approve applications digitally. Physical visits are required only in case of rare notices, which our CA team handles on your behalf.
