Whether vat registration is applicable to a online trader?

532 views 2 replies

Hello friends,

I have a confusion. My friend wants to start online shopping website. His proposal is that if a consumer places an order then he will get delivery direct from the dealer associated with the website but the payment will be deposited in the bank account of the website. The the website owner will make payment to the dealer after deducting his commission.

So, is the website owner is required to be registered for VAT or only Service Tax?

Both need to be registered

@ Chandresh 

Service Tax number is required when your friend's commission exceeds Rs. 9,00,000/- as per the service tax rules.

The owner of the website will deduct commission on which TDS liability will there by the owner if it exceeds Rs. 5,000/- as per the Income Tax rules.

In the view of DVAT Rules if Your business place is in delhi

Some websites need TIN No. under the relevant state of Business to which it pertains. 

If your dealer or website owner are required TIN No., then you must have TIN No. and CST Number also for transacting Central as well as Local transactions.

Otherwise, DVAT Registration No. is required when the Turnover exceeds the taxable turnover limit of Rs. 20,00,000/-. And if you are willing to register with DVAT then you can register yourself with DVAT.

 

Conclusion: You need to have registered with DVAT for TIN No. (Local) and CST No. (Central).
