dear shruti,
first you have to make it clear that ur client is availing composit scheme under vat..
if he is availing such scheme than vat credit can't be allowed.
and for the computation of WCT the total amount shall be taxed as rate prescribed.
if it is nt availing composit scheme than for the tax calculation the service element from the total amount is to be deducted......

dear friends,
Truly VAT has three methods:
product based/consumer based/income based - in fact in india almost every dtate govt do not follow any single method so enormous consumption, so they do not say in specific terms what method so all the trouble.

in fact, the govt wants to get taxes on items taxes not paid by buyers. if the buyer buys from a seeler if he does not pay sales tax,or purchase tax, then liability revolves on the buyer, so buyer beware principle surfaced.
there are a lot of research reports from advanced countries are available as advanced countries just do not levy any taxes without the governments correctly knowing how to go about, as in USA there can not be any taxation without representation since 16th century and so it clearly means no body pays any tax just because govt wanted.
If govt's levy any levy they are answerable to the levied so the levied promptly moves the court. Govt gets stinkers from even normal courts, unlike India,
As CAs main responsibility is to first ensure to test why that levy at all and if that is okay why his/her need to pay and if that levy is on goods and services not properly taxed naturally buyer is liable for penalty and just compounding his fault by another levy.
In India we as CAs just ask clients to pay without rationale so we as CAs ae more known as just accountants though we are called 'Taxation Accountants' but by word 'Taxation accountants' it is very clear we need to establish the veracity of any tax before we allow the tax to be paid to govenment. That way we differ from CPAs.
so it is vital a CA is expected to correctly advice on taxation matter means he has to establish the veracity of tax first and if convinced of veracity then you will tell the client to pay, do we do like that!...adv dr G.Balakrishnan, rapidanalysts @ gmail.com
