What is a healthy gross margin for traders?
Depends on industry: commodity trading 2–8%, branded goods 20–40%, specialty/niche products 40–60%. Net margin after all costs is typically 5–15% for healthy trading businesses.

GST is a pass-through for GST-registered traders (input credit available). For unregistered businesses or B2C with no ITC, GST directly reduces effective margin.
