VAT Registration in India


Value Added Tax or VAT is a mandatory requirement for all kinds of business. Proprietorships, partnerships, private limited companies, manufacturing firms and even traders of any kind of products need VAT registration. VAT is similar to Central Service Tax (CST) and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). They use the same 11 digit number.

What is VAT?
VAT is an indirect tax levied on goods and services when they are sold to the ultimate customer. VAT is paid by the producers to the government. The producers then collect the tax amount from the consumer, by adding it to the price.
A registered business may also apply for the Input Tax Credit (ITC) and apply it on future sales. This will relieve the company of paying VAT themselves. With ITC registration, the VAT amount is added to the retail invoice and the customer makes the payment.

When is VAT Registration Compulsory?
Businesses with an annual turnover of more than Rs.5 lakhs (in some states it is Rs.10 lakhs), must acquire a registered VAT id. The VAT rates vary from state to state, business categories and the type of goods delivered. The amount of VAT charged is controlled by the state governments. This is why it varies from place to place.
The tax is based on value addition to manufactured goods. VAT id owners having an annual turnover of Rs. 50 lakhs are entitle to the Composition Scheme. Under this scheme the business must pay only a small percentage of tax on its gross turnover. However, it requires the said business to compromise its ITC agreement and forgo its benefit.

Acquiring a VAT id
To obtain a VAT id you need to go through the process of VAT id registration. The procedure involves 6 basic steps.

Step – 1 Locate Central Tax Office
Identify the Central Tax Office within the city your business is based. The tax office should house the VAT registration department as well.

Step – 2 Obtain Registration Form
Request for a VAT id registration form from the VAT office.

Step – 3 Attach Valid Documents
Fill out the application form with the correct details and attach the following documents to it:
– Central Sales Tax registration certificate (Form A)
– Professional Tax registration certificate
– Proof of address and ID of the proprietor, partner or director
– Four passport size photographs of the proprietor, partner or director
– Bank account number and PAN card number of the proprietor, partner or director
– Documents stating the details of your business activities
– In case of a partnership, a copy of the Partnership deed
– Incase of a private limited company, a copy of the memorandum of association and articles of association
– A copy of the rental agreement of the business

Step – 4 Verification
At this step, the local VAT authorities will inspect your business premises at a time scheduled by them.

Step – 5 Collect Registration Certificate
The last step after verification and fee payment requires you to collect the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) provided immediately. The VAT registration certificate will be issued either the next day or within a week via post.

Why is VAT Registration Important?
VAT is a primary tax that adds to the nation’s revenue and economy. As a result it is a mandatory tax for all business establishments. The registration process is very easy. The fees are fixed and the verification process is simple.

Union Budget 2017 highlights

 Finance minister Arun Jaitley presented the Union Budget 2017 in Parliament on Wednesday. The biggest highlight in the 2017 budget was the slashing of income tax by half for individual tax payers, ban on cash transactions over Rs. 3 lakhs and reduction in holding period to 2 years for capital gains. In this article, we look at the highlights of the 2017 Budget with respect to an Entrepreneur or Business Owner in India.


Income Tax

 Income tax rate has been slashed from 10% to 5% for individuals who earn between Rs.2.5 lakhs to Rs.5 lakhs. Now after rebates, even a person with a Rs.3 lakhs income could enjoy zero tax liability. Since, proprietorship firms are taxed similar to individuals, micro enterprises having income of less than Rs.5 lakh would enjoy the benefits in tax reduction.

Tax Break for Startups

 Continuing to build on the 2016 Budget by extending special support for Startups, the Finance Minister has increased the period of profit-linked deductions available to Startups to 3 out of 7 years from the current 3 out of 5 years.

Budget 2016-17 kick-started the process. Several deductions were reduced and sunset dates put for others along with reductions in tax rates for some categories of businesses – new manufacturing companies set up after March 2016 were given the option of being taxed at 25 percent provided they did not claim any exemption and companies with turnover less than Rs 5 crore got a 1 percent reduction. However, some new exemptions were given to start-ups, with certain conditions.

This year, admittedly, Jaitley has not moved forward on withdrawing exemptions even as he reduced corporate tax rates.

But let’s look at who has got this benefit: the small and medium enterprises sector. Income tax for companies with an annual turnover of up to Rs 50 crore has been brought down to 25 percent. A big chunk of this lot was paying an effective tax rate of 30.26 percent, while the large companies (turnover above Rs 500 crore) paid an effective tax rate of 25.9 percent. So Jaitley has in a way done the tax equivalent of social levelling. Large companies have not got any tax relief this year.

Stimulating Bank Credit

 To stimulate bank credit to businesses, various measures have been announced as follows in the 2017 Budget:
  • The allowable provision for Non-Performing Asset (NPA) of Banks has been increased from 7.5% to 8.5% to improve the risk appetite of Banks.
  • In line with the ‘Indradhanush’ mission, Rs. 10,000 crores has been allocated in the 2017 Budget for recapitalisation of Banks.
  • Lending target under Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana hase been increased to Rs. 2.44 lakh crores. Priority under the scheme will be given to borrowers from certain backgrounds like Dalits, Tribals, Backward Classes.
