Why Bother With This GST Thing Anyway?
Well, for starters, it's the law (yawn, obligatory legal disclaimer). But on the bright side, adding your GST number unlocks a treasure trove of benefits:
- Claim that sweet, sweet Input Tax Credit (ITC): Basically, get some money back on your business purchases. It's like finding a hidden twenty in your old jeans – who doesn't love free cash?
- See Products with GST Invoices: Amazon is crawling with amazing stuff, but sometimes you need that GST invoice for record-keeping. Adding your GST number means you can finally see all the products with those magic tax receipts.
- Become a Business Boss: Show Amazon (and everyone else) that you're a legit business by rocking that GST number. It's like a virtual badge of honor (except way more useful).
