05 January 2025 The evaporation loss would typically not be included in the output VAT because the product was never sold.
However, you need to adjust the stock position to reflect the evaporation loss, which would indirectly impact your input VAT credit (on stock).
Any purchase of fuel will be recorded normally, but you must ensure the loss is deducted from the closing stock to adjust for the actual stock level.

05 January 2025 In Gujarat VAT, you will generally show:
VAT Payable on the sale of petrol, diesel, etc., based on the amount sold.
Input VAT credit on the purchase of petrol, diesel, etc., will be claimed normally, subject to the availability of stock and proper documentation.
This is more of an inventory loss, so ensure it is accounted for in the stock registers. No specific VAT entry is needed for evaporation loss in the VAT return.
