GST and TDS for creators selling digital products
What Sellza deducts, what lands in your bank, and when to register for GST.
What Sellza deducts from each sale
A flat platform fee of 5% per paid sale, plus 18% GST on that fee only — GST is never charged on your sale amount. Free products carry no fee at all.
Under Section 194-O, e-commerce operators deduct TDS once your sales on the platform cross ₹5 lakh in a financial year. The deducted amount appears in your Form 26AS and can be claimed against your tax liability.
