How to register for VAT in India

In this blog, we will tell you about VAT (Value Added Tax)and how to register for it.
What is VAT?
Introduced to replace the Sales Tax, VAT is a multi-point levy on each of the entities in the supply chain with the provision to allow ‘Input tax credit (ITC)’ on tax at an earlier stage, which can be appropriated against the VAT liability on subsequent sale.

Who is liable to register for VAT?
Any trading or manufacturing business, whether a sole proprietorship or a partnership firm or a private limited company, that sells its products is liable to be registered for VAT.
What is the procedure of VAT registration?
1. Submit an application for VAT in Form 1 along with the following documents to the local VAT office:
• Central Sales Tax registration certificate(Form A)
• Professional tax registration certificate(Form 2)
• Copy of important documents such as the address proof, ID proof of the Proprietor/Partner/Director
