Difference Between VAT and CST

CST = Central Sales Tax
If customer issues the C-Form then 2% CST is applicable 
otherwise full tax is applicable. that means it saves tax.
After delivery of material we have to collect the C-Form 
from the party otherwise it is a liability during sales tax 
assessment.
