1.If it is passed through P&L then write Yes 2.If there is no change in A/Cing policies then write N.A. IF any change then give the details and its effect on P&L i.e. increase or decrease.
Anjani is right. If VAT is debited to P & L a/c,write yes and indicate the amt e.g. VAT : Rs........
As regards 2nd point, its related to maintain VAT a/c separately which is called exclusive method of accounting. if separate VAT a/c is not maintained by the assesse, u just have to put note regarding it and give one calculation of net profit as per exclusive method.
