Hi all,

We have purchased a car in oct 2010.

Car is purchased on my dads name as he is proprietor of the company.

It falls under category of Input tax restricted goods. Hence you can not claim VAT credit.

You cannot claim vat credit of Car,although it is a capital asset but it is a personal asset for human consumption ,hence vat credit is not allowed.Suppose u have purchased plant & Mach for that input is aloowed .

No, Vat is only claimed of thats goods which directly relates to the buisness of the assessee.

So, vat is not claimed for the same.

car is neither input, nor capital goods classified as plant and machinery, hence no input credit allowed,

Exception : person engaged in dealing in car buy and sales can take input credit for set off in sale of car.
