VAT setof against Excise/Service Tax

hi

Cenvat credit of inputs and input services is available only for excise duty, service tax and customs. Cenvat credit can not be claimed for local taxes.

Hence, input VAT can be set off against output VAT only.

bye

take care

The Input Credit of VAT can be allowed only against Output VAT payable.

The set off Credit is not allowed against Excise Duty, Customs Duty , CST , Output Service Tax.

No Dear. You cannot set off VAT input/output with Excise or Service tax Credit/ Liability.

Both of them are levied under different laws and have different basis of levy.

No notification is required. All the states after 46th amendmend in Constitution have been entitled to collect sales taxes on transfer of property in goods in execution of works contracts.

Normally. in AMC spares and consumables are supplied by the contrcators to the contractees and that is the point when VAT is attracted. If no transfer of property is made (charged separately for replcaemnts of spares & consumables), no VAT will be attracted on AMC.

You may refer sections relating to works contract in your local VAT Laes.
