30 October 2013 Dear Experts,

We would like to inform you that we import products from China and pay the import duty [Central Government].

While selling the goods locally, we are suppose to charge the vat @ 14.5% for every invoice.

We got to pay the entire 14.5% tax value to the government as sales tax[state Government].

My doubt here is, can we adjust the paid import duty towards the sales tax? or do we have to pay the import duty as well as sales tax?

Kindly give us your valuable suggestion on the above said matter in order to reduce the tax liability?

Regards
