Increased vat rate from 5% to 5.5% beneficial or harmful

Hello sir,

By 1 st April 2016 VAT rate has increased to 5.5% from 5%

During last year retailers had purchased goods with 5% VAT and today onwords has to sell it at 5.5%.

I think retailer is in loss because of this.

So what to do ?

Nothing for you can do

as retailer will be liable only on price increase

already paid he will get set off

The goods sold would be applicable at VAT rate of 5.5% and its no loss for the seller as he just collect's it from the buyer and pays it in the government treasury on behalf of buyer

There is no gain or loss to the dealers. The additional liability has to be borne by the consumers.
