Vat in products given free

534 views 1 replies

HI, To all experts,

I have a complicated issue which needs your advice.

I run a service center where we Take AMC from clients for their Electronic Goods. As per the AMC terms I have to provide them Heaters / Filters free of cost 1ce a year (amc includs the cost of filters too) along with Free services for repairs & Services.

My work includes 2 aspects - 1) clients with AMC 2) Random clients

For Random clients we sell the spares and pay the vat to the department against the Purchases made.

Complication arises for AMC clients -

1) Say I am charging them Rs. 1000 as AMC charges - Service tax @ 12.36% charged.

In the above Rs.1000 spares worth 800/- MRP are provided free of cost once a year (since Free No invoce or VAT bill prepared)

Since I am not preparing Sales invoice How do i account for VAT on the spares provided free of cost?? 

since i do not prepare SALE invoices my Purchase VAT exceeds my sales VAT at times and comes as Refund but the stocks are not there since they are given free of cost...

So I am confused as to how to deal with service Tax & VAT for the same... I cannot charge double taxation i.e. also charge service tax and also charge vat on the products.

appreciate your advice on urgent basis.

Thanking you

Ketan

Your case is a case of deemed sales. Raise a zero value invoice for customers. You have to discharge VAT on the heaters/filters provided for free on cost. For calculating VAT , take rs .800 as inclusive value..and calculate the amount of VAT...such VAT amount is to be borne by you and be paid from your pocket.
