VAT/CST: If you are in a start stage , you need not take M-VAT Reg till your gross t/o exceeds Rs 5 Lacs, but whatever goods you purchase it will have VAT on it and you will be liable to pay VAT on it(no need to pay VAT seperately as same will be included in the Purchase Bill amount), the benefit of taking registeration will be that you can collect VAT on your sales and take set-off of VAT paid on purchase LBT: LBT is paid by purchaser operating in LBT zone, so you are not liable to pay LBT as you are selling them(unless you are in LBT zone)
