    If your Annual Turnover is Less than 5 Lakh you do not need to Register either as TOT or VAT Dealer.
    If your Annual Turnover is in between 5 Lakh and 40 Lakh you need to Register as TOT Dealer.
    If your Annual Turnover is more than 40 Lakh you need to Register as VAT Dealer.
    The above condition is applicable to all the Trading Concern irrespective of kind of nature of business.

    For Food Selling first you have to get the Food License from Food Safety and Stands Authority of India. After that you need to apply for VAT and/or CST Licenses.

  24. Venkkatesh K
    November 4, 2016 @ 8:58 AM

    For TOT you have to pay 1% Tax on Sales and there will be no Input against the Purchases and for VAT there different VAT Rates are available and mostly 5 & 14.5% are used. And you have to pay the Tax through Online from Commercial Tax website.

  26. Venkkatesh K
    November 24, 2016 @ 2:35 PM

    If the ACTO has issued an order for your based on your turnover you can do that otherwise. You have to apply for the New VAT Registration and after you receive the VAT License you may apply for the Cancellation of the TOT License.

  27. Venkkatesh K
    November 30, 2016 @ 12:12 PM

    TOT is only 1% irrespective of the Commodity you trade.

    As per the VAT Rules & Act there is no provision if the Dealer have directly approached with the VAT Registration application. If you have reached any Notice from the Department it will be cased on the turnover criteria they will levy the Tax and Penalty as per by-laws.

    Hai sir,
    This is raja sekhar.
    To start a business of selling in online platforms, they are asking for vat registration. So if my business doesnt exceed 40 lacs but if now am registering as expected sales crossing the threshold limits, will there be any problem and if after registering if i fail to file returns will there be any penalty as even my business is registered it is not in the threshold limits. Also plz guide for the documents required for registration and registration charges to be paid.

    January 15, 2017 @ 8:16 AM

    Mr. Sahil Gupta,
    As you already applied for VAT you do not need to apply for TOT. Right now you need to enroll to the GST as soon as you get the VAT License from the Commercial Tax Department. If need further assistance contact us to advice@accountsguy.net

    Hello Dear Venkkatesh,
    Thank you for the information on TOT. I have a few questions

    1)I have a medical shop in partnership(I am the managing partner in 60:40 ratio). I got the medical licence 15months ago, but I have not taken the TOT as yet.

    2)Our turnover for this FY is 22,00,000. I know I qualify for TOT, but I do not know how to proceed.

    3)Can I get the TOT licence from the government website by applying online? What will be the fees, late fees, fines, etc?

    4)After getting the TOT, how much to pay? You said 1%. So that means 22,000?

    5)Is this tax on Turnover in addition to the income tax? In my case, say we have a profit of 8,00,000 and my share is 4,80,000. Then my IT will be 11,500. So do I need to pay a total of 33,500/-?

    Kindly reply in as much detail as possible. I guess your answer will help a lot of other people with similar doubts.

    Thank you,
    Ranjeet
