Depending on whether you are going to be a trader, seller, re-seller, a product manufacturer, importer, exporter or a service provider, there will be different classifications, minimum turnover limits for taxability, different tax rates, rebates, scope for adjustments between taxes paid and taxes collected, incentives for exports and so on.
Find out the type of taxes you will be exempted from: In many countries, small and home business with small turnover may have exemption limits for collecting and paying taxes and also concessions on the extent of book keeping and paper work needed.
