1. VAT Rate on Scrap Materials in Tamil Nadu
Scrap materials generally attract a reduced VAT rate because they are considered waste or recyclable materials.
In Tamil Nadu, VAT on Scrap materials is generally 5% (but it may vary slightly depending on the specific type of scrap).
Some scrap materials might even be exempt or taxed at lower rates depending on government notifications.
It’s advisable to check the specific category of scrap for exact classification.
2. VAT Rate on Multi-stock Items (Purchased and Sold in Tamil Nadu)
Multi-stock items usually fall under normal goods categories.
VAT on most manufactured or traded goods (including multi-stock items) is typically 4% or 5% in Tamil Nadu (depending on the item).
For general goods, Tamil Nadu VAT was often at 4%, with some essential items at 1% or zero-rated.
The exact VAT rate depends on the classification of the item under Tamil Nadu VAT schedules.
3. CST (Central Sales Tax) Rate
CST applies on interstate sales of goods.
The general CST rate applicable across India, including Tamil Nadu, is 2% when the buyer has a valid CST Form (Form C).
If the buyer does not provide a valid Form C, the CST rate charged is the local VAT rate of the seller’s state.
For goods like scrap or multi-stock items, CST rate remains 2% with valid Form C.
