Value Added Tax (VAT) registration is a mandatory requirement for businesses engaged in taxable activities, as per the VAT & Supplementary Duty Act, 2012. This legal basis outlines the conditions under which businesses must register for VAT. It includes provisions such as taxable turnover thresholds, types of goods and services subject to VAT, and procedural requirements for registration. VAT registration ensures compliance with tax laws and enables businesses to collect VAT on behalf of the government, thereby contributing to the revenue system.
