Nos. 1, 1 & 1 of 2008, order dated November 03, 2025] held that purchase tax under Section 7A of the Tamil Nadu General Sales Tax Act, 1959, does not arise on the purchaser merely because the vendor did not pay the tax, when the transaction is otherwise one in which tax is actually payable by the vendor under the Act.
