Challenges Faced by GST Officers in Registration of ‘Shared Warehouse’ for E-commerce Suppliers

  • GST officers are working on a mechanism for shared warehouses used by e-commerce suppliers
  • Suppliers can store goods at a common warehouse under GST law
  • Multiple suppliers geo-tagging the same warehouse can raise concerns about fraudulent registration
  • The issue of registration for shared warehouses was discussed between Central and state GST officers
  • The law committee will discuss the shared workplace concept for e-commerce warehouses
  • Geo-tagging has been implemented to pinpoint the exact locations of registered taxpayers
  • There is a need for a mechanism to separately identify warehouses and avoid conflating tax payment scores with suppliers
  • A refined tax system should enable accurate risk assessments and minimize unwarranted harassment
