Mr Vijay Viswanath,
It is always better and benificial to go by the VAT system. The rate of tax under COT method is higher than VAT. For ex in Karnataka under COT tax rate is 4%,whereas under,after availing input and other deductions as per rules it works out to less than 3% on the turnover.COT is suitable only for small contractors who do not have proper accounting staff/system.But,large scale works,as such need good accounting and compliance with all rules. Here even 1% addition of tax will result in huge payments.Interstate purchases/sales can be done easily,against 'C' form under VAT, which becomes necessary for large works. Under VAT billing is to be done carefully,but under COT it is simple..etc.....mjk
