Q) Compute the VAT amount payable by Mr. A who purchases goods from a

manufacturer on payment of Rs. 2,25,000 (including VAT) and earn 10% profit on

sale to retailers? VAT rate on purchase and sale is 12.5%

Ans) Calculation of invoice value

Purchased price of goods excluding VAT (225000 / 112.5 X 100) 200000

Add: Profit margin 20000

Amount of bill 220000

Add: VAT @ 12.5% 27500

Total invoice value 247500

VAT to be paid by Mr. A

VAT charged in the invoice 27500

Less: Input credit (12.5% of Rs. 200000) 25000

Net VAT payable 2500

i am confused as to if 10% PROFIT ON SALE TO RETAILERS is given...then why have we calculated the profit on cost???

why isnt the profit calculated as 10/110 * 200000
