Queries 542 views 2 replies

HI all,

   I have a friend who needs advice on business he is starting. He wishes to start a printing business, where he sources deals and gets them printed (flex board printing, posters, leaflets, brochures, t shirt printing, printing on articles (branding etc.)). As of now, he wishes to outsource them and make a profit on the cost. He has plans to later on acquire machinery for the same. His query is which registrations would he need to start his business. VAT/ Service Tax/ Excise?

Market trend is that VAT is leviable on Printing business

As all the goods mentioned above can be used without printing also,no excise duty is leviable. Printing is exempted under ST only if the same is being done as job worker.So,ST is payable if the same is being done on behalf of the client.
