Sorry sir, As I have knowledge of VAT, credit of VAT paid can be adjusted with CST but cedit of CST paid could not be adjusted with VAT under the HVAT Act, 2003.

Dear Indu,

1.Under HVAT, 2003 we can take the credit of VAT paid on inputs/capital goods purchased. Now, this available input credit can be utilised to pay our VAT liability on the sales made within the Haryana(i.e. Local Sales). If our VAT liability on the sales made in the haryan(Local Sale) is less then the Input Credit available, then the balance Input Credit (balance after utilising for payment of VAT liability on local sale) can be utilised to pay our CST Liability.

2. we can not take the credit of CST paid on purchase of Inputs/Capital Goods.

Example:

VAT paid on Purchases = Rs. 100

CST Paid on Purchases = 50

Therefore, total input credit available = Rs. 100 only

Now, suppose VAt liability on sales made in Haryana = Rs. 50

CST liability on interstate sale = 500

Now out of total credit of Rs. 100 we can use 50 Rs. for payment of our VAT liability. Balance Rs. 50 can be utilise for the payment of our CST liability. Thus Rs. 450(500-50) for CST liability we will have to pay in cash.

Crux:

VAT paid on Purchases - We can take the credit and can utilise for payment of both VAT and CST

CST paid on Purchases - We can not take the credit.

Dear Mr. Vineet, I have go through with your example, could you plz explain the follwing situation:-

1. In case the enterprisesdidi not have any local sale & all the sale are on Central basis.. Now can we set off the same against VAT.

2. In case of any interest due to late payment, Can we set off the same through Credit available?

3. In your example you first set off the liability of VAT & not CST ? Is there any reason behind the same...

Thanks in Advance

Regards

Wether Local Vat or Central Sales Tax on all the sales made from a particular state goes to the Revenue of that very state.

The Vat paid on local purchases is the only Tax which a dealer can claim as input tax credit available to that particular dealer. The input tax credit can be adjusted against Out put Tax, first against the local Vat liability, and if any surplus credit is available the same can be adjusted against the liability under the Central Sales Tax Act.

dear Devinder There is no link between CST and VAT . Excess input can not be adjustable from CST and vice versa.

Dear All,

Se off of CST paid onpurchases can not ba claimed against any other tax liability. However as far as my knowledge goes, set off of input vat can be claimed against CST liability.
