Example7 Back Up Next *Practical Examples on VAT* The following examples illustrate the principles of Vat under various circumstances. The basic principles are – (a) Vat does not require one to one relation (b) In case of stock transfer of goods to other States, Vat credit to the extent of 2% is not allowed (c) No Vat credit if no Vat payable on sales. *Basic Concepts of Vat* *Question*- Compute the VAT amount payable by Mr. Shyam, who purchased goods from a manufacturer on payment of Rs. 4,16,000 (including VAT) and earned 20% profit on purchase price. VAT rate on both purchases and sales is 4% (CA IPCC and AT November 2010) *Answer*– Net purchase price is Rs 4,00,000. Profit – Rs 80,000. Hence, selling price – Rs 4,80,000. Vat on selling price @ 4% - 19,200. Vat paid on purchases – Rs 16,000. Hence, Net Vat payable by cash – Rs 3,200 [which is 4% of value added of Rs 80,000]. *Question - * Compute the invoice value to be charged and amount of tax payable under VAT by a dealer who had purchased goods for Rs. 1,20,000 and after adding for expenses of Rs. 10,000 and of profit Rs. 15,000 had sold out the same. The rate of VAT on purchases and sales is 12.5% (CA PCC, November, 2007) *Answer*– Effectively tax is payable on Rs 25,000 @ 12.5% i.e. Rs 3,125. *Question*- From the following particulars arrive at the VAT liability for the month of January 2010 and also determine the amount of input tax credit to be carried forward for the next month: (i) Input tax rate 5% and output tax rate is 15% in the State. (ii) Inputs purchased in the month from within the State-Rs. 48,00,000. (iii) Output sold to buyers within the State during the month – Rs 15,00,000. (iv) Output sold during the month to buyers as interstate sales – Rs. 3,00,000. (CST rate 2% against C Form) (v) Inputs purchased from other States as interstate purchases against C Form @2% - Rs. 2,00,000. (Provide suitable explanations where required with appropriate assumptions if necessary.) (CA Final New Syllabus - November 2010) *Answer * – Input tax credit – Rs 2,40,000 (5% of Rs 48 lakhs). No credit on inter-state purchases. Output tax**– (a) Sale within State – Rs 2,25,000 (15% of Rs 15 lakhs) (b) Inter-state sale – 6,000 (2% of Rs 3 lakhs). Total output tax – Ts 2,31,000. Net Tax payable**– Nil as credit available is more than output tax payable. The balance of Rs 9,000 will be carried forward for use in future month/s. *Question - * Compute the VAT amount payable by Mr. A who purchases goods from a manufacturer on payment of Rs. 2,25,000 (including VAT) and earn 10% profit on sale to retailer? VAT rate on purchase and sale is 12.5% (CA PCC June 2009). *Answer*– Net purchase price of Mr. A is Rs 2,00,000 (check that by adding 12.5%, the amount comes to Rs 2,25,000). His profit is 10%. Thus, his net sale price is Rs 2,20,000. Vat on this amount @ 12.5% is Rs 27,500. He will get input tax credit (ITC) of Rs 25,000. Thus, he is liable to pay net Vat of Rs 2,500 [In effect, he is paying Vat @ 12.5% on his profit of Rs 20,000]. *Question - * Mr. X, a manufacturer sells goods to Mr. B, a distributor for Rs. 2,000 (excluding of VAT). Mr. B sells goods to Mr. K, a wholesale dealer for Rs. 2,400. The wholesale dealer sells the goods to a retailer for Rs. 3,000, who ultimately sells to the consumers for Rs. 4,000. Compute the Tax Liability, input credit availed and tax payable by the manufacturer, distributor, wholesale dealer and retailer under Invoice method assuming VAT rate @ 12.5% (CA IPCC/AT November 2009) Ans - X (Manufacturer) B (Distributor) K (wholesale dealer) Retailer Net Price 2,000 2,400 3,000 4,000 Add Vat @ 12.5% 250 300 375 500 Total Selling Price (Net plus vat) 2,250 2,700 3,375 4,500 Vat Credit available Nil 250 300 375 Net Vat payable 250 50 75 125 Total tax paid is Rs 500 as follows – Manufacturer –Rs 250, Distributor – Rs 50, Wholesale dealer – Rs 75, Retailer – Rs 125. *Question - * Compute the VAT liability of Mr. P Kapoor for the month of October, 2009, using the ‘Invoice method’ of Computation of Vat – (i) Purchases from the local market (Includes VAT @ 4%) Rs. 65,000 (ii) Storage cost incurred Rs. 750 (iii) Transportation Cost Rs.1,750 (iv) Goods sold at a margin of 5% on the cost of such goods. Vat rate on Sales 12.5% (CA PCC May 2010). *Answer*– Net purchase cost (excluding Vat) is Rs 62,500. Vat @ 4% of Rs 62,500 is Rs 2,500. Considering storage cost and transportation cost, total cost is Rs 65,000 (62,500 + 750 + 1,750) (Vat is not to be considered in cost since the Vat amount is available as credit). Add 5% to get selling price of Rs 68,250. Vat @ 12.5% on Rs 68,250 is Rs 8,531.25. Vat credit available on inputs is Rs 2,500. Hence, net Vat payable is Rs 6,031.25 (8,531.25 less Rs 2,500). *Question -*Determine the taxable turnover, input tax credit and net VAT payable by a Works contractor from the details given below on the assumption that the Contractor maintains sufficient records to quantify the labour charges. Assume Output VAT at 12.5%: (I) Total contract price (excluding VAT) Rs 100 lakhs (ii) Labour charges paid for execution of the contract Rs 35 lakhs (iii) Cost of consumables used not involving transfer of Property in goods Rs 5 lakhs (iv) Material purchased and used for the contract taxable at 12.5% VAT (VAT included) Rs 45 lakhs. The contractor also purchased a plant for use in the contract for Rs. 10.4 Lakhs. In the VAT invoice relating to the same VAT was charged at 4% separately and the said amount of Rs.10.4 lakhs in inclusive of VAT. Assume 100% input credit on capital goods. Make suitable assumption wherever required and show the working notes (CA Final November 2009 new syllabus) . *Answer*– Vat on material purchased is Rs 5 lakhs (12.5% of Rs 40 lakhs). (It is presumed that Vat was shown separately in Invoice). Vat on machinery is 0.40 lakhs. Thus, Vat credit available is Rs 5.40 lakhs. The contractor will get deduction of labour charges of 35 lakhs and consumable of 5 lakhs (Total 40 lakhs). Thus, he is required to pay Vat on Rs 60 lakhs (100 – 40) Vat on Rs 60 lakhs @ 12.5% is Rs 7.50 lakhs. He has Input Tax Credit of Rs 5.40 lakhs. Hence, he is required to pay balance Vat i.e. Rs 2.10 lakhs by cash. *Question - * X, a dealer in Mumbai dealing in consumer goods, submits the following information pertaining to the month of March, 2010 – Exempt goods A purchased for Rs 2,00,000 and sold for Rs 2,50,000. Goods B purchased for Rs 2,25,000 (including VAT) and sold at a margin of 10% profit on purchases (VAT rate 12.5%). Goods C purchased for Rs 1,00,000 (excluding VAT) and sold for Rs 1,50,000 (VAT rate 4%). His unutilised balance in VAT input credit on 1-3-2010 was Rs 1,500. Compute the turnover, input VAT, output VAT and net VAT payable by X. (CA IPCC May 2010). *Answer*– (a) No tax is payable on goods A and no input VAT credit. (b) In respect of B, net purchase price is Rs 2,00,000 [(2,25,000 x 100)/112.5]. Input VAT credit is Rs 25,000. Net selling price is Rs 2,20,000 (by adding 10% profit to Net purchase price). Output VAT payable is Rs 27,500 [@ 12.5% of Net Selling Price (turnover)]. Hence, net Vat tax payable on B is Rs 2,500 [Rs 27,500 – Rs 25,000] (c) On goods C, Input VAT on Rs 1,00,000 @ 4% is Rs 4,000. Output tax payable on Rs 1,50,000 @ 4% is Rs 6,000. Thus, net VAT tax payable is Rs 2,000. Thus, total tax payable on goods A+B+C = Nil + Rs 2,500 + Rs 2,000 i.e. Rs 4,500. Input Vat Credit available is Rs 1,500. Hence, net VAT payable for March 2010 is Rs 3,000 [Rs 4,5000 – Rs 1,500]. *Questions involving multiple inputs and outputs* *Question - * Purchases by S & Co. for the month of December are as follow: (1) Rs. 1,00,000 at 4% VAT (2) Rs. 5,00,000 at 12.5% VAT. Sales of S & Co. for the month of December are as follows – (1) Sales of Rs. 3,00,000 at 4% VAT (2) Sales of Rs. 3,00,000 at 12.5% VAT. Compute eligible input tax credit and VAT payable for the month (CA Final, New Syllabus, June 2009). *Answer*– (A) Vat payable for the month of December – (a) VAT payable on local sales @ 4% (3,00,000*4%) – Rs 12,000 (b) VAT payable on local sales @ 12.5% (3,00,000*12.5%) – Rs 37,500. Total – Rs 49,500 (B) Input Tax credit on purchases (a) (1,00,000*4%) - Rs 4000 (b) (5,00,000*12.5%) – Rs 62,500. Total - Rs 66,500 (C) VAT Payable – Nil (As the credit exceeds the Vat payable. Balance credit of Rs 17,000 (66,500 – 49,500) can be carried forward to next month and utilised against future sales. *Question - *The particulars regarding sale, purchase etc. of Shubham Udyog for the last quarter of the year 2009-10 are as under : (1) Purchases of raw material within the state - (i) taxable @ 1% - Rs 40,00,000 (ii) taxable @ 4% - Rs 60,00,000 (iii) taxable @ 12.5% - Rs 10,00,000 (2) Sale of goods manufactured from raw material purchased @ 4% tax rate (i) Taxable sale within the State (tax rate 4%) – Rs 20,00,000 (ii) Exempted sale within the state – Rs 10,00,000 (iii) Sale in the course of Inter-State trade or Commerce (tax rate 4%) – Rs 10,00,000 (3) Sale of raw material purchased @ 1% tax rate – Rs 44,00,000 (4) Goods manufactured from the raw material purchased @ 12.5% tax rate were given on lease. The deemed sale Price of such goods is Rs. 12,00,000, taxable @ 12.5%. - - You may assume that input tax credit of tax on raw material used in manufacture of leased goods is available immediately. Compute the amount of Value Added Tax (VAT) payable by M/s Shubham Udyog for the relevant quarter. There was no opening or closing inventory. How can he utilise the balance of input tax credit available, if any? (CA Final May 2010). *Answer*– *A.*Output tax (VAT plus CST) payable – (i) On raw material (1% of Rs 44,00,000) – Rs 44,000 (ii) On sale taxable @ 4% (4% of Rs 20,00,000) – Rs 80,000 (iii) Vat on lease (12.5% of Rs 12,00,000) – Rs 1,50,000 (iv) CST on inter-State sale (4% of Rs 10,00,000) – Rs 40,000. Total tax payable – Rs 3,14,000 *B.*Input tax credit (ITC) – (i) Taxable @ 1% (1% of Rs 40,00,000) – Rs 40,000 (ii) Taxable @ 4% (Tax paid on Rs 60,00,000 – 2,40,000. Eligible credit 75% as 25% is exempt sale) – Rs 1,80,000 (iii) Taxable @ 12.5% (12.5% of Rs 10,00,000) – Rs 1,25,000. Total credit – Rs 3,45,000. C. Input Credit available is more than tax payable. Hence, no tax is payable by cash. The excess credit of Rs 31,000 can be carried forward for utilization subsequently. If such excess credit remains un-utilizable till the time limit as specified in State Vat Act, then it will be refundable. (Note: The excess credit is because goods purchases @ 4% were sold at a loss by the dealer, as purchase price is Rs 60,00,000 and Sale price is Rs 40,00,000. Even then full ITC shall be available, as Vat provisions do not require one to one relation. Total input credit is a ‘common pool’ which can be used for payment of Vat on sales. However, it shall be reduced proportionately to extent of tax exempt sales). *Transactions involving inter-state transactions or exports* *Question - * Compute net VAT liability of Rishi from the following information - * Raw materials from foreign Market (Includes duty paid on imports @20%) – Rs 1,20,000 * Raw material purchased from local market - Cost of Raw material Rs 2,50,000 Add : Excise duty @16% Rs 40,000 (sub-total – Rs 2,90,00) - Add : VAT @ 4% - Rs 11,600. Total Rs 3,01,600 * Raw material purchased from neighbouring State (Includes CST @ 2%) - Rs 51,000 * Storage and transportation cost – Rs 9,000 * Manufacturing expenses – Rs 30,000. - - Rishi sold goods to Madan and earned profit @ 12% on the cost of production. VAT rate on sale of such goods is 4% (CA PCC November 2010). *Answer –*Cost of production is as follows – (i) Imported raw material – Rs 1,20,000 (ii) Local raw material – Rs 2,90,000 (Vat is not to be considered as its set off i.e. credit is available) (iii) Raw material from neighbouring State – Rs 51,000 (Set off of CST is not available. Hence, it is incudible in cost) (iv) Storage and transportation cost Rs 9,000 (v) Manufacturing Expenses – Rs 30,000. - - Total cost of production [i to v] – Rs 5,00,000. Profit @ 12% - Rs 60,000. Hence, selling price – Rs 5,60,000. Vat @ 4% on selling price – Rs 22,400. Vat credit available – Rs 11,600. Hence, Net Vat payable – Rs 9,800 [22,400 – 11,600]. *Question*- Mr. Rajesh is a registered dealer and gives the following information. You are required to compute the net tax liability and total sales value under Value Added Tax. Rajesh sells his products to dealers in his State and in other States. The profit margin is 15% of cost production and VAT rate is 12.5% of sales (i) Intra State purchases of raw material Rs. 2,50,000 (excluding VAT @ 4%) (ii) Purchases of raw material from an unregistered dealer - Rs. 80,000 (including VAT @ 12.5%) (iii) High seas purchases of raw material are Rs. 1,85,000 (excluding custom duty @ 10% of Rs. 18,500) (iv) Purchases of raw materials from other States (excluding CST @ 2%) - Rs. 50,000 (v) Transportation charges, wages and other manufacturing expenses excluding tax - Rs. 1,45,000 (vi) Interest paid on bank loan Rs. 70,000 (CA IPCC and AT November 2010) *Answer*– The total cost of production is as follows – (i) Intra State Purchases of Raw material (Net of Vat) – Rs 2,50,000 [Since Vat credit i.e. set off is available, it is not considered for calculating cost of production] (ii) Purchases from unregistered dealer - Rs 80,000 including 12.5% Vat [Really, an unregistered dealer cannot charge Vat in his invoice. Even if he has charged Vat in his invoice, the buyer cannot avail set off (Vat credit) of such amount. Hence, cost of production is considered including such Vat] (iii) High seas purchases – Rs 2,03,500 (including customs duty since its Vat credit is not available (iv) Interstate Purchases of raw materials – Rs 51,000 (including CST @ 2% i.e. Rs 1,000 since set off of CST is not available) (v) Transportation charges, wages and other manufacturing expenses – Rs 1,45,000 (vi) Interest – Not considered as it is not to be considered while calculating cost of production (Interest would have been added if the words used were ‘total cost, while here the words used are ‘cost of production’]. - - Hence, total cost of production is Rs 7,29,500 (2,50,000 plus 80,000 plus 2,03,500 plus 51,000 plus 1,45,000). Sale value is cost of production plus 15% i.e. Rs 8,38,925 (7,29,500 plus 1,09,425). Vat payable on sale value @ 12.5% is 1,04,865.63. Vat credit i.e. set off available on intra-state purchases is Rs 10,000 [4% of Rs 2,50,000]. Hence, net tax payable (after taking Vat credit) is Rs 94,865.63 *Question - *Calculate the VAT liability for the period Jan. 1, 2007 to Jan. 31, 2007 from the following particulars: Inputs worth Rs. 1,00,000 were purchased within the State. Rs. 2,00,000 worth of finished goods were sold within the State and Rs. 1,00,000 worth of goods were sold in the course of inter-State trade. VAT paid on procurement of capital goods worth Rs. 1,00,000 during the month was at 12.5%. If the input and output tax rate in the State are 12.5% and 4% respectively and the central sales tax rate is 3%, show the total tax liability under the State VAT law and under the Central Sales Tax Act. (CA Final, November 2008, New Syllabus) *Answer*– Tax payable on sale within State – Rs 8,000 (4% of Rs 2,00,000) Tax payable on inter-state sale – Rs 3,000 (3% of Rs 1,00,000). Thus, total tax payable is Rs 11,000. Vat Credit – On capital goods – Rs 12,500. As per White Paper credit on capital goods will be spread over three years. Hence, credit available in first year is Rs 4,166.67. Balance of Rs 8,333.33 will be carried forward. On inputs – Rs 12,500 (12.5% of Rs 1,00,000). Total Vat Credit Rs16,1666.67 can be utilized in current year. Thus, out of Vat credit of Rs 16,666.67, Rs 11,000 can be utilised to pay sales tax and balance Rs 14,000 (balance credit Rs 5,666.67 plus carry forward credit of capital goods Rs 8,333,33) will be carried forward. *Question - * Mr. Goenka, a trader selling raw materials to a manufacturer of finished products. He imports his stock in trade as well as purchases the same from the local markets. Following transaction took place during financial year 2008-09 - (1) Cost of imported materials (from other State) excluding tax - Rs 1,00,000 (2) Cost of local materials including VAT – Rs 2,25,000 (3) Other expenditure includes storage, transport, interest and loading and unloading and profit earned by him - Rs 87.500. Calculate the VAT and invoice value charged by him to a manufacturer. Assume the rate of VAT @12.50% (CA PCC November 2009) *Answer*– On imported material, the trader does not get credit. On local material, he gets Vat credit. The Vat paid on local material is Rs 25,000 (by back calculations). Hence, his net purchase price of local material is Rs 2 lakhs. Hence, his net selling price would be Rs 1,00,000 + Rs 2,00,000 + Rs 87,500 i.e. Rs 3,87,500. He will charge Vat @ 12.5% i.e. Rs 48,437.50. Thus, his selling price to customer (inclusive of Vat) is Rs 4,35,937.50. Net Vat paid is Rs 23,437.50 (Rs 48,437.50 less Rs 25,000). (Note that if the purchase price of local material is taken as Rs 2,25,000, his actual profit will be higher than as indicated in the example). *Question - * Compute the net VAT liability of Janak from the under-mentioned information:(i) Raw material purchased from foreign market (including duty paid onimports @ 20%)- Rs 47,000 (ii) Raw material purchased from local market (including VAT charged onthe material @ 1 %) – Rs 10,100(iii) Raw material purchased from another State (excluding CST)– Rs 20,000 (iv) Storage, transportation cost and insurance– Rs 3,000(v) Other manufacturing expenses incurred– Rs 600. - - Janak sold the goods to Prem adding margin of profit @ 10% on the selling price. VAT rate on sale of such goods is 10% (ICWAI Final New Syllabus June 2010) *Answer*– No Vat credit is available on imports and raw material purchased from other State. Vat paid on local material is Rs 100 (1% of Rs 10,000). In case of inter-state purchases, assuming that CST rate is 2%, purchase cost is Rs 20,400. Total cost is = 47,000 + 10,000 + 20,400 + 3,000 + 600 = Rs 78,000. the margin of profit is 10% of selling price. If X is selling price, profit is 0.10X. Hence, cost = 0.90X = 78,000. Hence, selling price is Rs 86,666.67 (check that 86,666.67 – 8,666.67 = Rs 78,000). Vat @ 10% of Rs 86,666.67 is Rs 8,666.67. The dealer has Vat credit of Rs 100. Hence, he has to pay by cash Rs 8,566.67. *Question*- M/s. Abanti Associates is a registered dealer engaged in the manufacturing of steel in the State of Maharashtra. During the year 2008-09 the firm has procured raw materials of Rs. 25,50,320 (VAT @ 4%) and purchased plant and machinery of Rs. 20,00,000 (VAT @ 4%) and Rs. 5,00,000 (CST @ 2%) for use in the manufacturing of steel. Sales of steel materials made during the year is Rs. 40,00,000 (VAT @ 4%) and inter-State sale is Rs. 5,29,000 (@ 2% CST). Besides above, branch transfer of Rs. 3,20,000 was made to Kolkata. Calculate the following as per White Paper on VAT Law in India - (i) Output tax (ii) Input tax credit to be availed during the year (iii) Balance tax payable and (iv) Input tax credit, if any, to be carried forward (ICWA Final New Syllabus June 2009) *Answer*- (A) Output tax – (a) sale within State – Rs 1,60,000 (4% of Rs 40,00,000) (b) Interstate sale – Rs 10,580 (2% of Rs 5,29,000) (c) Stock transfer of Rs 3,20,000 – No tax. Total sales (including stock transfer) – Rs 48,49,000. Total Tax payable – Rs 1,70,580 (B) Input tax credit on raw material 1,02,012.80 (4% of Rs 25,50,320 – It is presumed that the purchase price given in example is net of Vat). Total sales (including stock transfer) are Rs 48,49,000, out of which stock transfer is of Rs 3,20,000 i.e. 6.6%. Hence, on 6.6% of input raw material, 2% Input Tax Credit is disallowed. Total raw material – Rs 25,50,320. Raw material used for stock transfer (6.6%) i.e. Rs 1,68,321.12. Hence, 2% of Rs 1,68,321,12 i.e. Rs 3,366.42 is not allowed. Thus, Input Tax Credit available is Rs 98,646.38 (Rs 1,02,012.80 – Rs 3,366.42) (C) Input credit on Plant and machinery – Rs 20,000 (4% of Rs 5,00,000 – As per White Paper, the credit is to be taken in three years. Hence, credit in first year is Rs 6,666.67. Balance Rs 13,333.33 will be carried forward. (D) No Input tax credit of inter-state purchases of Rs 5,00,000. (E) Hence, total credit available for use – Rs 98,646.38 + 6,666.67 = Rs 1,05,313.05. (F) Net tax payable by cash – Rs 65,266.95 (Rs 1,70,580 – Rs 1,05,313.05). (G) Credit of Rs 13,333,33 on capital goods will be carried forward. *Question - * A dealer purchased 11,000 Kgs of inputs on which Vat paid @ 4% was Rs 4,000. He manufactured 10,000 Kgs of finished products from the inputs. 1,000 Kgs was the process loss. The final product was sold at uniform price of Rs 10 per Kg, as follows – Goods sold within State – 4,000 Kgs. Finished product sold in inter-state sale against C form – 2,500 Kgs. Goods sent on stock transfer to consignment agents outside the State – 2,000 Kgs. Goods sold to Government departments outside the State – 1,500 Kgs. There was no opening or closing stock of inputs, WIP or finished product. The State Vat rate on the finished product of dealer is 12.5%. Calculate liability of Vat and CST. Find Vat credit available to dealer and tax required to be paid in cash. *Answer * - CST against C form is 2%. Sale to government will be treated as sale to unregistered dealer and tax payable is 12.5%. Thus, the tax payable would be as follows – *Description* *Quantity sold* *Value of goods sold * *CST payable Rs* *State Vat payable Rs* Sale within State @ 12.5% 4,000 40,000 5,000 Goods sent on stock transfer 2,000 20,000 Goods sold against C form, tax rate 2% 2,500 25,000 500 * * Goods sold to Government, tax rate 12.5% 1,500 15,000 1,875 * * *Total * *10,000* *1,00,000* *2,375* *5,000* * * Tax paid on inputs – Rs 4,000. Credit (set off) will not be available in case of goods sent on stock transfer. Tax on inputs attributable to goods sent on stock transfer is 20% i.e. Rs 800. Out of this, credit will be available of tax paid in excess of 2%.. Thus, credit of Rs 400 will be available in respect of goods stock transferred and credit of Rs 400 will not be available (since Vat rate is 4%). Thus, total credit of Rs 3,600 (tax paid on inputs) is available. Thus, tax payable is as follows – (A) Total Tax payable (State Vat plus CST) – Rs 7,375 (B) Set off (credit) available) – Rs 3,600 Tax payable in cash – Rs 3,775 *Question - *In aforesaid example, if 2,000 Kgs were exported (and not stock transferred), what would be the tax liability and credit available. *Answer* - If finished product is exported. There is no tax liability. Further, the credit of tax paid on raw material is available. This credit can be utilised either for payment of CST or for State Vat or even for both, if required. Hence, tax payable is as follows – (A) Total Tax payable (State Vat plus CST) – Rs 7,375 (B) Set off (credit) available – Rs 4,000 Tax payable in cash – Rs 3,375.
