01 February 2013 Hi, if you are taken voluntary registration of VAT then you are liable to pay VAT on the amount of Rs. 3,50,000. In this case you can claim input credit of Rs. 15,000/-. So you are liable to pay on Rs. 50,000(Assuming VAT is same at both point.). And there is no benefit of exemption is available. As cenvat credit is available subject to condition that your VAT registration before the purchase of Rs. 3,00,000/-.
2) if you are not a vat dealer then you are not eligible to claim vat input. in that case you cannot claim refund.
