VAT Credit carried forward by you in your return will be eligible as input tax credit and would be setoff against SGST under GST LAW. and not against CGST
I have gone through all provisions of GST regarding ITC but nowhere it is mentioned about taking state administered tax credit like VAT,entry tax etc into SGST Credit and Set off against SGST liability and similarly,Central Govt adminstered Tax Credit like Excise duty,Service TAX ans CST etc to CGST credit and Set off Against CGST liability.
Sir , excise duty and service tax are levied by central govt. VAT , eNtry tax is levied by state. So now getting into gst there is central tax and state tax. So the credit of excise and service tax wud b standing as cgst and VAT credit would be standing as SGST. Also if you go through the transition provision you'll come to know abt it
can you please let me know about one point that if I have a stock purchased @ 14.5% and gst will be applicable @ 28% then who will bear the difference tax of 13.5% , whether I will be liable to pay the tax from my profit margin ?. Because if I charge gst on cost price plus profit then we will get the sales price greater than MRP of the product. Kindly clear me this point.
