Vat/cst applicability

DVat 385 views 9 replies

Hi CAClubIndia community,

I am a business owner and have started my Ecommerce business. I am designing my own website and want to know details on the rate of CST applicable when selling outside Delhi, I have TIN/CST registered from Delhi.

As I know, CST is applicable when I sell goods to anyone outside Delhi. Now, I have doubt on what will be the CST rate applicable. Am I liable to pay CST rate applicable for a specific product based on the state where I am selling or the CST rate applicable from where I am selling.

Taking an example, I (Delhi registered) sold a consumer product to someone in Mumbai. What will be the rate of CST applicable? CST rate of Delhi or CST rate of Mumbai (Maharashtra)?

If it is as per the rate applicable in the state where I am selling then where can I find the applicable rates for each state?

I am more of a technical person and don't understand all the terms like schedules related to taxations and accounting. Kindly respond in a simplified language.

Regards,

Sumit

You should have to Charge CST as per STATE from where you are selling i.e Delhi !  

That means no matter to where I am selling I will have to charge sales tax rates applicable in Delhi. Is that right?

Where can I find the exact rates for any specific product? Is there any way I can easily find the applicable rates?

Yes you should follow Dvat rules, if registered under dvat act For Vat rates on Products check Dvat schedule

Yes, I am a registered DVAT Dealer, and selling online via our own Ecommerce Store and existing marketplaces including Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal and Paytm.

I still remember a CA telling me that I have to charge CST based on rates applicable as per the state from where I am getting an order. Should I consider this what you told me as the most accurate information provided? I want to communicate this information to that CA who gave me the wrong information.

I will not say that I am right and that CA is wrong

Now you have two different kind of advice let's go and wait for another's reply / advice

 

As per my practice and experience it should be as per state from where you are selling because you have to file return of VAT at your own state not from any other's state

 

And your state's return will reflect tax rate as per their own rules.

 

So it should be as per Delhi's rate,  please correct me if you find my advice wrong .

 

Thanks

 

Thanks for the response anyway. I expected to get a better understanding of VAT/CST on this forum, but the doubts remained as they were. Nothing substancial received even from here.

Looks like I have to go to someone much experienced to get the accurate information.

 

As I already told you that as per my practice It should be Delhi VAT Rate, But you have received two different kind of advice

 

So i suggest you to take third advice to get rid from any confusion. But it doesnt mean that my reply is improper at my side. For me it is 98% correct.

 

Good Luck

 

Thanks

 

I apologize if you think my response was rude or if you think I am questioning your knowledge. I didn't mean to. My response was not personal in any form. If you see from my perspective I came here (on this forum) for a solution, but my doubts are still there. My statement was only a feedback not a complaint.

The only thing that made me say so is that I get opinions instead of a clear understanding. If you are confident about the information you provided here, I accept your response as the best resolution for my query.

I anticipated more participants providing their inputs.

Thanks and Regards,

Sumit

I am sorry !

I have tried hard to solve your issue in simple way but it couldnt worked !

Secondly, As a professional we cannot say that other professional is wrong.
