Vat on stock taken over by a company in conversion

M.R.KANNAN (PRACTICE) (99 Points)

23 April 2012  

A sole proprietory business in jewellary is converted into a company whereby stock and all other assets / liabilities of the sole proprietory business are taken over by the newly formed company.

Is this transfer of stock in take-over liable for charge of VAT under Tamilnadu Act, equating the transfer to a sale by the sole proprietor to the company?
