Tax authorities in India are working on ways to get the E-commerce companies pay sales tax in respective states. According to a new report, the Punjab excise and taxation department has started a survey to figure out revenue loss to the state.
Apparently, the state government is missing out on taxes because e-commerce companies are paying taxes in the state of origin (or where they have their warehouses.)
The department is planning to ask retailers to setup warehouses in the state so that they can earn from online shopping.
The sales tax department in Kerala doesn’t allow companies like
Flipkart and
Amazon to sell in the state without paying sales tax.
