Hi All,
I am exporting under ₹ 5,00,000/- value goods for first time.
Do I need to have VAT registration mandatory or after crossing ₹ 5,00,000/- turnover then I can do VAT registration.
Please confirm.
Is VAT need for export

VAT registration advisable for exporters to secure MEIS eligibility, duty drawback and state VAT/CST benefits.
Whether an exporter below the turnover threshold must obtain VAT/CST registration was queried; respondents recommended early registration to secure export incentives and compliance benefits, notably MEIS eligibility and duty drawback, and to ensure correct treatment under State VAT and CST rules; the inquirer decided to register.
