Let me know incase you need further assistance

If the goods are purchased and sold in your name, you will be a dealer and VAT will be payable by you. However, it seems that you are not the dealer and the bills are raised by your vendors through you. Hence VAT is not applicable to you and vendor will have to pay the VAT.

So far as you are concerned you will be liable to pay service tax on your services as business auxiliary services.

As per your version, if the commission goes above 10 Lakhs then you are liable to take service tax number and pay service tax. You need to collect the same from the vendors from whom you are receiving commission and pay the same and if the commission is inclusive of service tax then you need to calculate accordingly.

Apart from Service tax and Income tax in my view no other taxes are applicable to you.

From the above it seems that your arning are limited up to commission that you will charge with the vendor . Your services may be covered under the Business auxillary services and are chargeable to service tax . Apart from this you are liable for the income tax . However for the local tax you can enquire with local tax consultant .
