Currently almost state had imposed electricity duty on electricity consumer. It ranges from 5% to 15% depending upon the state. Looking at the nature of taxation it is service tax on service provided. All tax paid to on goods and services under Central Government rule are VAT able under various provision of similar act. ( Like Excise Duty and Cenvat Credit).
Similarly state had imposed electiricity duty on electricity consumer. Looking at current scenario VAT credit is not available. I would like to understand the understanding on the constitutional provision and nature of electricity duty.

Don’t we think that it should be adjusted against the local sales tax.

Dear all

My query is on the following circumtances:

A real estate company is taking credit of VAT input

As the project is under construction so VAT output does not arises.

further more the company has not taken vat registration no as its say that vat liability does not arises as now and it will take regd later.

My query is as the company has not taken vat regd. , can it shows vat input entries in books,
further whether it has to file return or not.

Please i need a expert advice as this is a very serious matter.

A restaurant charges service charge @ 10% on food served and then charges VAT @ 12.5% on the aggregate amount [i.e. Charges for food items + Service charge @ 10% on such food items]

NOTE:-
This service charge @ 10% is charged only if food is consumed at restaurant, i.e. if free home-delivery is opted then no service charge is charged.

[Q1] Is it correct to charge VAT on service charge as well ? Should'nt it be seperately charged by service tax rather than by VAT ?

[Q2] If No, then should he charge composite rate of tax ?

According to sec.206c tcs should be collected on forest produce. my query is on subsequent sale whether tcs should be collected or not as on the first sale while purchasing wood for government tcs is collected by govt. but after purchasing when they are resold that should be considered as trading asset according to my view.
so please advice me on the above related matter.
thanks in advance.

MY QUESTION IS, CAN WE GIVE A C FORM OF SUNDRY CREDITOR OTHERS FOR INTERSTATE PURCHASE FOR SAVE OUR LOCAL TAX LIABILITIES.

They issues him a invoice with CST @12% without 'C' form.
Now i want 2 know that can my friend register himself under CST and get the @ reduced plus can he avoid paying VAT on the ground that he is receiving commission

DEAR SIR

ONE OF MY CLIENT IS WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTOR FOR MEDICINE. DURING THE YEAR 09-10 HE HAS GOODS (MEDICINE) RETURNED TO HIS SUPPLIER AMOUNTING TO RS. 15.0 LACKS OUT OF HIS OPENING STOCK & SHOWN IN TRADING A/C. NOW I HAVE TO FILE HIS VAT REVISE RETURN.
MY QUERY IS
1)WHETHER VAT SET-OFF WILL BE REDUCED ON THE SAME AMOUNT
2)IF NOT, HOW PURCHASES WILL BE TALLIED ?

Sir, Thanks a lot for your first reply.I agree for the contents mentioned by you .The awarder is not deducting any vat.Each time he deducts the TDS amount for the payments makes to us for our Bills.. We are remiting service tax and vat (compounding ) for the cheque amount received from the awarder. My doubt is whether I have to calculate & remit vat on TDS deducted by the awarder. ( I understood that THERE IS NO TAX IS TO BE PAID ON OTHER TAXES).MY VIEW IS....... Here the TDS AMOUNT IS A KIND OF TEMPORARY DEPOSIT AT IT DEPARTMENT. ONLY AFTER FINALISATION OF ACCOUNT FOR EACH YEAR WE WILL BE KNOW HOW MUCH INCOME TAX TO BE PAID OR TO GET REFUND FROM THE TDS AMOUNT. SO PLEASE CLARIFY WHETHER I HAVE TO REMIT VAT ON TDS. THANK YOU
