Why this matters for boutiques
Boutiques sit between designer-led retail and bespoke tailoring. Compliance is layered: GST on garment sale (12%) AND on tailoring labour (18%), trademark protection for designer brand, drug & cosmetic licence if you stock skincare/perfumes alongside, and Shop Act. FilingLab handles boutique-specific GST setup with composite-supply HSN mapping, brand trademark, and accounting that treats fabric inventory differently from finished garments.
