Mr. Goenka, a trader selling raw materials to a manufacturer of finished products. He imports his stock in trade as well as purchases the same from the local markets. Following transaction took place during financial year 2009-10. Calculate the VAT and Invoice value charged by him to a manufacturer. Assume the rate of VAT @ 12.50%.

a. Cost of imported materials (from other state) excluding tax – Rs.1,00,000.

b. Cost of local materials including VAT-Rs.2,25,000.

c. Other expenditure includes storage, transport, interest and loading and unloading and profit earned by him-Rs.87,500.

Hi Guarav,

I don't know the exact calculation.. But i can guess this will be the calculation how the answer you got;

Interstate - 1,00,000 X 12.5% (Assumed 12.5% VAT) = 12,500

Local - 2,00,000 (2,25,000 X 100/112.5) X 12.5% = 25,000

Total 37,500

Input VAT - ( 2,00,000 - 87,500 = 1,12,500 Purchases) 14,062

VAT Liability = 23,438

Pls let me know if its wrong.

Thanks

Girish

Imported goods(100000*112.5%) 1125002. Local purchase(225000*100/112.5) 2000003. profit 87500Sales 400000output vat payable = 400000*12.5% = 50000

The output VAT is 12.5% of sales. The sales is cost of material + Expenses+ Profit = 300000 + 87500 = 387500

Output VAT is 12.5% of 387500 = 48438

VAT Liability = Output VAT - Input VAT = 48438 - 25000 = 23438

It may be noted that Input VAT can be claimed on Llocal Purchase only.

Sales (100000+200000+87500)= 387500 Out Put Vat @ 12.5% =48438 - Input Vat 25000 Vat Payable = 48438 - 25000 = 23438 Invoice Value Charged 387500 + 48438 = 435938

See,Input tax will be 25000 as under

225000*12.5/112.5

And output tax will be 50000 as under

(200000+87500+100000+12500)*12.5%

Hence,net tax payable 50000-25000=25000.

@ Gaurav Pushkar: Why have you included Rs. 12,500 for calculation of output tax?

Gaurav Singh (student) (496 Points)

12500 is tax on 100000.Since,its credit can't be taken, it is included in cost.

Prevailing CST Rate is 2% for Inter State Purchase so you can add 2000/- to the cost of 100000/- not 12500/- @ 12.5%
