Hey! About VAT applicability when stock or fixed assets are given to a partner against his capital in a partnership firm:
---
### Key points:
* When **stock or fixed assets are transferred to a partner** in a partnership firm **against his capital contribution**, it is generally considered a **transfer of goods/assets**.
* But, this transfer is **not a sale** in the usual commercial sense, as it’s a capital transaction within the firm.
* **VAT applicability depends on the state VAT laws** and their interpretation regarding capital contributions.
---
### Generally:
* **Most VAT laws do NOT levy VAT on capital contributions**, because no sale or supply for consideration has taken place.
* Transfer of stock or assets to a partner **against capital is treated as a capital transaction, not a taxable sale**.
* Hence, **VAT is normally not applicable** in such cases.
---
### Important considerations:
* **If the partnership continues** and these assets/stocks remain in the firm, it strengthens the argument that this is a capital transaction, not a sale.
* But if the assets are transferred **outside the partnership or for some commercial purpose**, VAT could apply.
* Always check your **state VAT rules and notifications** to be sure.
---
### Percentage:
* If VAT is applicable (which is rare here), the rate would be as per the VAT rate on goods involved (varies by goods).
* But practically, **no VAT is charged** on capital contribution transfers.
