TOPIC RELATED TO CUSTOMS, VAT, SERVICE TAX, CST

 

Hi team,

We are going to setup a business in India.

Customers from India will place order with us in India.
My brother from USA will send the items directly to India.
Customers will pay the customs applicable when they recieve the item.
We will reimburse customs to our customers.

As of now we are thinking of registring below:

Sole propetiership
VAT no for Punjab
IEC code

My queries are:

1. Will VAT be applicable on the sold products direclty from USA to customers across India? As item will not land in Punjab, where we have to pay VAT...Item will land in other states across India direct to customers..Please clarify.

2. Do we require CST number to do this type of business?

3. We are providing a services type things only..As sending items directly from USA to customer. So, how will this business be taken care of?

Thanks in anticipation

To avoid sales tax liability you have to enter highseas sales contract. Registration requirement will be as per relevant state sales tax law. In sales tax return you will have to show highsesa sales.

First of all, i would like to thank you for your reply.

 

Our customs handling and delivery will be handled by an external agency.

 

 

What is our business model will be:

 

Customer from all states from India will place order with us.

My borther will be shipping product to 3rd party agency. 3rd party agency will clear customs and will deliver to customer and we pay 3rd party custom tax and delivery charges.

Thus customer will get great service without paying any customs tax..

 

Are we still liable for VAT? Because goods are neither landed in our state, we just provided a service to customer by paying CUSTOMS Duty to 3rd part service...

 

Please give us pathways how we can proceed in this.

Thanks in advance
