Ours is an Electronics(Micro Processor Based Trainers,etc) Manufacturing company which got registered with Karnataka Sales Tax Department as well as Central Excise Department.
We supply to the customer an Instruction Manual/User' Guide(we call it as User' Manual) along with our products to enable them work with our Product.
Our question is whether we can claim VAT Input credit(like raw materials) on the User' Manuals which we got it printed from one of our regular printers who charges us KVAT @4%. If so can you please give the corresponding notification number also.
