AI Summary

Unified VAT Registration Across Indian States Deemed Impractical Due to State-Specific Regulations and Central Sales Tax Requirements. A query was raised about the possibility of a single VAT registration number across all Indian states, similar to PAN and service tax numbers. A respondent explained that VAT is a state subject, with each state having different regulations, making a single registration unlikely. Another respondent noted that due to the existence of different state laws and the Central Sales Tax (CST) for interstate transactions, a unified VAT registration is impractical, though a single CST registration exists for interstate transactions.
