Assuming yours is a sole proprietory business. Have you ever claimed any SET OFF (Input Credit as is called in new terminology) against the VAT paid at the time of purchase of car at 10lakh? If yes, then you need to collect VAT at the time of sale for 4 lakh. If no, then you need NOT collect VAT at the time of sale for 4 lakh
