03 August 2025 Regarding VAT on steel scrap generated during construction (like in your power plant case), here’s the general guidance:
VAT on Sale of Scrap (Steel Scrap from Construction)
VAT Applicability:
Scrap generated from construction activities is liable for VAT as it is considered a sale of goods.
Power sales may be exempt from sales tax/VAT, but scrap is treated as a separate product and taxable.
Tax Rate on Scrap:
The VAT rate on scrap (like steel scrap) typically varies by state.
In many states, VAT on scrap steel is levied at a concessional or lower rate, often between 5% to 12.5%.
For example, Maharashtra and Gujarat have had VAT rates around 5-12.5% on scrap.
Documentation:
Proper invoices and accounting of scrap sales must be maintained.
Input tax credit cannot be claimed on scrap sales.
Advice:
Confirm the exact VAT rate applicable in your state (since rates vary).
Register for VAT if required, and file returns disclosing scrap sales separately.
