Hello Experts,
 
Recently I got my shop act license, IEC code and current account.
My business idea is to import some unique elctronic goods/ computer parts and sell it online or on ebay.
And I've some questions...
1. For selling imported goods in India, what all taxes are applicable (apart from custom duty, octroi and VAT)
2. If landed cost of product is Rs 100 and I'm selling the product at Rs 110, how much VAT I will have to pay. (Rs5.5 or Rs 0.5)
3. Is excise duty is appliable for selling imported goods in India.
4. If I want to sell imported goods in assembled form (like assembled computer) under brand name of my company, will it be liable for excise duty, if yes what will be the %.
5. Is there any turnover limit for excise duty, I mean, is excise duty is applicable only above certain turnover.
 
Thanks in advance.

Madhav

Dear Mr Ramesh,

Thank you for your reply.

after decide ur cost + overhead expenses you will be add the profit in case of import no VAT applicable. 

Do you mean that, VAT is not applicable on selling imported goods.

If VAT is applicable on selling imported goods, is it applicable on base price or profit margin.

5. Is there any turnover limit for excise duty, I mean, is excise duty is applicable only above certain turnover.

 

NO,

 
Here I had read that excise is only applicable above certain turnover value
