02 January 2014 VAT is levied on sale price + excise duty.

So the buyer has to pay VAT on sale price + excise duty.

In this case the buyer has to pay an amount of Rs. 128.65 to the seller.

He can claim CENVAT credit of Rs. 12.36 (excise duty), if eligible.

He can also claim Input VAT credit of Rs. 16.29 (VAT), if eligible.

02 January 2014 sir,
the buyer does not give the excise duty to seller. he say's.(buyer) pay the excise duty to department. and should not impose vat on excise duty.

02 January 2014 I do not understand your statement "buyer does not give excise duty. He pays the excise duty".

Kindly elaborate.
