I hv given an interior decoration contract to one person in Karnatka. He is supplying material as well as providing labour services. I want to know that what is the rate of tax he should charge from us.

Presently he is charging 4% composite tax. As per him I m not able to take credit for the tax paid by him.

A supplier received central sales tax declaration form "C" from his customer after nearly six years. The reason for delay in issuing the form was due to suspension of factory activities on account of labour problems. During this period the supplier had completed his sales tax assessment by paying the difference tax for non-recipt of "C" form. Now that the form has been received, is there any way for refund or for adjustment of the difference tax paid? Is there any time limit? If so what is the maximum time allowed? I request our valued experts and esteemed club members to advise. - Vishvesh

Whether VAT paid on Purchase of Air Conditioner for the factory of a Textile Manufacturing Company Can be Claimed as ITC under TNVAT Act ?

list of items for taking vat input tax credit? please send me

WE HAVE GIVEN BUILDING MODIFICATION CONTRACT WORK TO A KARNATAKA PARTY. THEY HAVE BILLED US FOR THE ENTIRE AMOUNT AS SALE OF GOODS (WITHOUT MENTIONING LABOUR INVOLVED IN THIS) @ 12.5 CST. WORK IS AT KERALA. IS IT CORRECT. AND 12.5% CST RATE IS PREVALENT IN VIEW OF REDUCTION CST RATE. KINDLY CLARIFY.

As per Rule 53 of the MVAT Act,2005 input Vat Paid Will be reduced to the extent of 4% on purchase of Furniture And Fixtures,Electrical Installations,Office Equipments.

However my Question is:

1)What all includes as Office Equipments?
(Give some comprehensive list)

2)Do computers,fax machine, printers, safes,air conditioners,mobile sets,etc purchased for office use are to be termed as office equipments?

3)So,Vat paid @ 4% on computers purchased will not be available for Set-off?

4)Are there any amendments to this rule?
