Multi-Branch and Multi-Business GST: One Owner, Many GSTINs
Separate registrations per state, ISD, cross-charge and how to keep books clean when you run more than one entity.
One GSTIN per state
GST registration is state-wise. A business operating in three states needs three GSTINs and files returns for each.
Distinct persons
Branches with different GSTINs are 'distinct persons'; supplies between them are taxable and need a tax invoice even without payment.
Cross-charge
Head office expenses benefiting branches (rent, salaries, software) are cross-charged with GST; the branch claims ITC.
Separate books, one login
Keep separate invoice series, clients and reports per GSTIN, but avoid juggling multiple logins.
SmartGST multi-business
Add each GSTIN as a business under your account and switch with one click; every report and invoice series stays isolated.
