Here’s a concise overview of VAT basics, filing, and CST exemption for inter-branch transfers:
When is VAT Payable?
VAT is payable on the sale of goods within a state.
The liability arises at the time of sale or supply of goods.
VAT is calculated as a percentage of the sale price (rate varies depending on goods and state laws).
How is VAT Calculated?
VAT = Taxable Value of goods × VAT rate.
Taxable value = Sale price minus any applicable deductions/exemptions.
Procedure to File VAT Return
Register under VAT in your state.
Maintain proper records of purchase and sales.
Download VAT return forms from your state VAT department website (e.g., for Maharashtra, visit mahavat.gov.in).
Fill in the details of sales, purchases, and tax paid.
Submit the return online or offline (depends on state rules) by the due date (usually monthly or quarterly).
Pay the VAT liability before filing the return.
About CST (Central Sales Tax) on Inter-Branch Transfers
CST applies on sales between different states.
However, inter-branch transfers between head office and branches located in different states are exempted from CST if Form F (or equivalent) is submitted.
Form F is a declaration that goods are transferred for resale and not for consumption.
This exemption is subject to the seller obtaining a valid CST registration and submitting Form F timely.
