02 August 2025 Let's break down your query step-by-step:

---

### Situation:

* You are a **manufacturer of cement**.
* You have a contract for **construction of a wall** (probably with a contractor).
* You are **providing cement to the contractor** and recovering the cost from his bill.

---

### Questions and Answers:

**1. Is this a sale or self-consumption?**

* Since you are **providing cement to the contractor and recovering the cost from him**, this **amounts to a sale of cement to the contractor**.
* It is **not self-consumption**, because you are transferring ownership of cement to another party and charging for it.
* **Self-consumption** means you are using your own goods internally without transferring ownership or charging outside parties.

---

**2. How to raise the bill/debit note to the party?**

* You should raise a **tax invoice** to the contractor for the quantity of cement supplied.
* The invoice should clearly mention:

* Quantity of cement supplied
* Price per unit
* Total amount
* Applicable VAT rate and VAT amount
* GSTIN/VAT registration number (if applicable)
* This will serve as your sale invoice.

---

**3. Is VAT applicable on such bill or not?**

* **Yes, VAT is applicable** because this is a **sale of cement**.
* You are supplying cement to another party, so VAT on cement (as applicable in your state) must be charged.
* The applicable VAT rate on cement varies by state but typically ranges from 5% to 12.5% (you should confirm your local VAT rate on cement).

---

### Summary:

| Question | Answer |
| ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Is it sale or self-consumption? | It is a sale (not self-consumption). |
| How to bill? | Raise a proper VAT invoice with details. |
