26 March 2011 Mr. Ram is correct in this view, You can not claim the vat charged according to law of the country of exporter even if we presuppose that you were manufacturer. It is the liability of exporter to charged and deposited the vat tax according to law and practices in that country. So it is advisable to approach with the foreign company and clear the facts to them
