* Amazon Business launches 'Bill to Ship to' feature

* Amazon Business on Monday announced the launch of its 'Bill to Ship to' feature that will help business customers with GST registration in only one state to claim tax credit for orders delivered across India.

Amazon Business customers, who have GSTIN registration for one or few states but want to get their shipments delivered across the country, can now use this feature and manage their indirect office expenses better, a statement said. Until now, Amazon Business customers were able to get GST invoices only for the orders shipped to a state where they had a GSTIN registration.

This caused customer inconvenience, as billing address on the invoices were same as shipping address and customers who did not have GSTIN for shipping address could not claim GST Input tax credit for such orders, the company said.

"With the launch of the 'Bill to Ship to' feature we have taken a lead in solving this unique customer problem and offered a solution which allow them to claim GST credit on their billing address for their pan-India shipments," Peter George, director of Amazon Business, said.
