The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are home to tourism businesses, small manufacturers, local wholesalers, restaurants, travel agencies, boat operators, resorts, handicraft sellers, online sellers, and many service-based companies. Many of these businesses are seeing rapid growth due to the booming tourism industry, improved connectivity, and the rising popularity of Andaman-made products.
Here’s why Andaman and Nicobar Islands GST Registration is especially important:
a. Easy Business Expansion
Once registered under GST, a business can bill customers anywhere in India without any additional tax complications. This is extremely helpful for island-based sellers who ship goods to mainland India through online marketplaces.
b. Tourism-friendly Compliance
Hotels, travel agencies, water-sports operators, and restaurants are some of the highest-earning industries in the region. GST registration allows these businesses to operate more professionally and attract high-value customers.
c. Participation in Government Projects
Many infrastructure and tourism development projects are active in the islands. Only GST-registered businesses can apply for tenders.
d. Better Credibility
Customers trust businesses that issue GST bills. A GST-registered company appears more professional and reliable.
e. Claim Input Tax Credit
When businesses pay GST on raw materials, services, or goods, they can claim credit and reduce their tax burden.
