Mysore/Mysuru: The Department of Commercial Taxes has begun collecting information on traders using data from UPI and other online payment platforms. However, since transaction records do not indicate the nature of goods sold, it is currently difficult to determine whether traders are dealing in taxable or exempt items.
P.D. Shobha, In-Charge Joint Commissioner (Administration Division), Commercial Taxes Department, clarified that traders who deal exclusively in exempt goods will be excluded from GST registration after verification. Notices have been issued based on PAN and address details. If it is established that a trader deals only in non-taxable goods, they will not be liable for GST.
