15 November 2013 Dear members
A newly formed pvt. ltd. company which exports software. Company isn't started it's business yet.
Kindly suggest me which taxes are required to register for this company.
Service Tax , VAT or any other taxes for export of software.
Can service tax registration is made before commencing business?
