Jharkhand VAT Registration:
Every dealer who engages in the trade of products and services that are covered under VAT will have to register themselves prior to the commencement of any such trade. The registration process is straightforward and simple. You will first have to fill in the VAT Registration form (Form VAT – I). Personal details such as name, date of birth, an amount paid and the nature of business must be revealed at the time of registration. With regards to the business, individuals must provide details such as the composition of the business (directors, partners, etc.), address, PAN details, date of incorporation, turnover, account details and TIN.
