Service and VAT tax for exports, Service Tax

[M Kings]

Hi,

Since in export we will not charge client any taxes, do I need to register for Service or VAT taxes?

If I need to register then can you please help me to understand for what benefits I have to get registered.

Sir the conditions for registration under Vat if satisfied then registration has to be taken. for that the respective state Vat act should be checked.

Secondly if you register under service tax then you will be able to claim service tax rebate on the service availed for export.Thanks.

Sh.M.Kings Ji,

I agree with the reply of Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani, Sir. But your query is incomplete despite that Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani has replied correctly. If you elaborate your query, then you can get a comprehensive reply.

Dear Friend,

In my view, irrespective of export or otherwise, as a company incorporated for manufacture and sale, need to get registered under VAT/CST.

Further, if you are a provider of taxable service or person liable to pay service tax under Reverse charge under Section 68(2) of Finance Act,1994, you have to registered with Service Tax.

Hope it is clear.

Best Regards
