19 August 2009 With both zero-rated sales and exempt sales you don't charge VAT.
However, for zero-rated sales you are eligible to claim a tax credit for the input tax paid on your purchases;
(Example: If a dealer is making exports, he is eligible to claim Input tax on purchases made within the state, subject to conditions)

Whereas for exempt sales you are not eligible to claim a tax credit for the input tax paid on your purchases relating to such exempt sales.

If your sales are exempted sales, you can include the VAT paid on purchases as purchase cost.
