Vat & cst registration

29 February 2012

At what turnover is a dealer supposed to register under Vat(MVat)?

Can a dealer voluntarily register under CST or only after effecting the 1st Inter-state sale?

thanks.

The threshold limit for registration is Rs5lakhs. You have to register without reference to any limit if you are engaged in interstate sale. Voluntary registration can be taken before starting any sale transaction,but it has to be both under VAT and CST Acts.....MJK.

yes agreed,

threshold limit is 5 Lacs and before 5 Lacs you can also voluntarily registered but you have to deposit against 5 Lacs Purchase/sales bills, it will Rs.25000/- or as per state vat rules and both registration deposit too....
