Since you, the seller, is a registered dealer with the Deptt., you are authorised/required to issue VAT invoice, its' immaterial whether the purchaser is a registered dealer or not, however something more practical can be focussed if full/exact details are forwarded of your query.

First of all we should be clear that VAT is applicable as Value Added Tax phenomenon, in a case where there is a subsequent value addition on sale/ re-sale it becomes applicable and in order to avoid cascading taxation effect.
Further Capital Gains will also arise as and when such a situation comes in to play there as per provisions of the Income Tax Act.
At the time of purchase of new commercial vehicle-trailor/truck VAT as applicable has already been paid on full value and you are not dealing with in the business of sale and purchase of second hand vehicles hence value on re-sale, it (the re-sale value) must not exceed the value paid on purchase of new vehicle-supposing that it would have not been in your case, otherwise-value addition. VAT rate is to be applied as per rate applicable for that particular state VAT legislation. Since VAT legislation does not prescribe depreciation, etc. rate I am of the aforesaid view that value of re-sale not to exceed original value to have VAT exemption in this particular case subject to the specific provision, if any as may be applicable in your case of STATE VAT provisions.
Further the purchaser is also not registered hence he will not be able to claim back the VAT, if charged, more so per provisions of setting off as applicable in his case.
Now the CG arises subject to the period of property held by you and accordingly it has to be dealt with whether LTCG or STCG, as the case may be.
However, above is purely an opinion base not supported by case-law, if any hence disclaimer prevails.
You are free to seek further opinion in this matter, query is therefore, assigned with OPEN status.
