Dear Experts,
I am planning to start wholesale and retail business of ready-made garments
Business will be based in Andhra Pradesh, but it will be spread across several states.
What are all the registrations that I need to do?
Do I need to obtain TIN/VAT from each state where I am planning to sell my garments?
This is pretty basic question but I am unable to find satisfactory answer online. I also tried asking in sales tax office in our town, but those people will not talk anything useful unless I pay 'fees' which I cannot afford.
Any help is appreciated.
Guidance Sought on TIN/VAT Registration for Multi-State Garment Business Operations; Conflicting Expert Opinions Noted An individual planning to start a wholesale and retail garment business in Andhra Pradesh, with operations across multiple states, seeks guidance on necessary registrations. They inquire if a TIN/VAT is required for each state. One expert advises obtaining registration in each state due to varying tax rates and procedures. Another expert suggests that if the business is based solely in Andhra Pradesh, only an AP TIN and CST number are needed for interstate sales, negating the need for registration in every state.
