Update GSTIN Details With PayPal
Freelancers and Service Providers receiving payments from clients outside India through PayPal have been asked to submit their GSTIN details. This is not mandatory for all PayPal users. However, if you have a GSTIN number, you can furnish it to PayPal and your business will receive the input tax credit of GST charged by PayPal.
