CST/VAT

Hi Vikas,

If the goods are moved from Mumbai for a destination in Mumbai itself, there will be no jurisdiction to collect & pay tax in Kolkata.  Since the sale occasions movement of goods within the State, you are required to register and pay VAT in the State of Maharashtra. 

As a general rule, tax has to be paid at the applicable rate on purchases from URDs and credit can be availed in the month in which it is consumed/sold.

I agree with Dharmaraju

Hi Dharmaraju

I have a doubt abt ur answer if the company is located in Kolkata it has to be registered under KVAT and CST under Karnataka jurisdiction and if the co purchase and sell the goods in Mumbai itself is it required for the co to register again for MVAT in Maharashtra.

Kindly reply

Hi Vidya,

Even if your registered office is in Kolkata, you need not register for VAT/CST in Kolkata if you are not effecting any transactions from Kolkata. Since VAT/CST is a state Subject, a dealer is liable to register in every State where the trading activity is carried on.
