26 July 2012 Dear all,

I'm an exporter and registered my office in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Our company is exporting of used earthmoving machinery. We buy these machinery within Tamil Nadu and other states. I have below queries!

1. We buy machines from local individual users who does not have CST, VAT or Sales tax registered under his name, when we do such purchase of this machine and export them, should we need to pay sales tax if not what is the process to get expempt?

2. We also buy machines from other states from individual users and take them to the nearst port for export, do we still required to pay sales tax?

3. We also buy from registered companies within Tamil Nadu & other sates and export the machines from the nearst port. What is the process of using Form H?

Please help me to get this answered. Thanks in advance!!!.

30 July 2012 Input VAT claim only for purchase from Registered dealers in proper invoice. Not eligible for input claim for purchase from unregistered delaers since unregistered dealers is not permitted to collect VAT.

30 July 2012 Sorry if I'm not clear.

I'm ready to pay the VAT, since export sale is exempt VAT. How do I claim the VAT if my company is only exporting and we don't have any local sale within India.

It would be nice if you share your contact details, so I can get more clarity, thanks.
