Your question is incomplete. However, I will try to give u basic info. If VAT is paid on raw materials/components etc in connection with manufacture/trading, such vat can be availed as input credit and same is not treated as expense. On the other hand, if vat is paid on expenses (other than manufacture/trading) then such vat has to be treated as expense. Hope it is clear.

Thanks Poornima. if we are purchasing for Printing & stationery and other such office expenses how the same has to be shown in the balance sheet under what head? please reply.

In this case you debit it to the particular expense only, eg. Vat paid on p&s to be debited to p&s only. Vat won't be shown in bs as it will be shown in p&l as expense
