Just to brief you, VAT on Tobacco & Tobacco products is 12.5% across India. Unmanufactured tobacco was always exempted from VAT being an agriculture produce. After the levy of VAT, some state have put it in exempted category like in Gujrat, Delhi & West Bengal, but some has not. I am not able to find out the rate of VAT leviable on unmanufactured tobacco in various state. Will appreciate, if you can compile a chart on the subject as per the enclosed format.
pls help
