APOB is any place of business that is in addition to the principal place of business mentioned in the GST registration certificate. The APOB can be a branch office, a warehouse, a factory, or any other place where business activities take place. In other words, any location where a taxable person carries out business activities other than the principal place of business is considered an APOB.
Under GST, businesses are required to register their principal place of business as well as their additional places of business. A taxable person with APOB must declare it at the time of GST registration or need to add in future if added. The registration certificate will mention the principal place of business as well as the APOBs. It is mandatory for the taxable person to register for each APOB, so that each APOB’s address will mention on GST certificate.

One of the key implications of having an APOB is that the taxable person must maintain separate records for each place of business, including the APOBs. This means that all the transactions conducted at each APOB must be recorded separately in the books of accounts. The taxable person must also file separate GST returns for each APOB.
Another important point to note is that the taxable person must determine the place of supply for each transaction based on the location of the supplier and the place of supply. If the transaction takes place at an APOB, the place of supply will be the location of the APOB, and GST will be levied accordingly.
Businesses must ensure they meet the eligibility criteria for GST registration. Generally, entity engaged in the supply of goods or services with a threshold turnover limit (as per the GST Act) must register for GST.
To register an additional place of business under GST, businesses need to access the GST portal, which is the official website for GST-related activities in India.
Businesses should fill out Form GST REG-14, which is the application form for GST registration. In this form, they need to provide details about the principal place of business and the additional places of business they wish to register.
Once the form is completed, it should be submitted on the GST portal. Businesses may need to provide digital signatures if required.
After submission, the GST department will verify the information provided. They may seek clarifications or additional documents if necessary.
Upon successful verification, the GST department will approve the registration of the additional places of business. Each registered place of business is assigned a unique Goods and Services Tax Identification Number (GSTIN).
Once registered, businesses are required to file GST returns, maintain records, and adhere to compliance requirements for each of their registered places of business.
