25 July 2025
Got it โ you bought goods from a lumpsum (or composite) dealer under VAT, and now want to show your **closing stock as on 30.6.17** and claim VAT credit or deemed credit.

### Key points:
1. **Purchases from Lumpsum/Composite Dealer:**
* Under VAT law, composite or lumpsum dealers donโt charge VAT on their invoices. * So, **you generally cannot claim Input Tax Credit (ITC)** on purchases from such dealers because no VAT is paid separately.
2. **Closing Stock as on 30.6.2017:**
* When migrating from VAT to GST (which happened around July 2017), your closing stock as on the appointed date (30.6.2017) is important. * You need to declare your closing stock value and claim **deemed ITC** on it while filing your GST returns.
3. **Form to use:**
* Under VAT, there was no specific form to claim ITC for stock from composite dealers because ITC is not available. * But for **GST migration**, you declare your closing stock (purchased from any dealer, including composite dealers) in **Form GST TRAN-1** (the transition form). * You claim **deemed ITC on the stock held** on 30.06.2017 through TRAN-1.
4. **But since the purchase was from a lumpsum dealer (no VAT paid), there is no VAT credit component to claim under VAT.**
* In GST TRAN-1, you can still declare the stock value and claim deemed ITC, but the ITC is restricted for stock on which VAT was paid. * For stock bought from a composite dealer (no VAT paid), no ITC is allowed on that stock under GST as well.

### Summary:
| Situation | VAT Credit | GST Credit on migration (deemed ITC) | | -------------------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------ | | Purchase from Regular VAT dealer | Allowed | Allowed (via TRAN-1) | | Purchase from Lumpsum dealer | Not allowed | Not allowed (no VAT paid, no ITC) |
---
### What you should do:
* **Declare your closing stock value as is.** * **Do not claim VAT credit on stock purchased from lumpsum dealer, since no VAT was paid.** * For GST migration, declare closing stock in **Form GST TRAN-1**. * Ensure your VAT returns and records properly show these facts.
