Do the concrete mixers fall under motor vehciles or material handling equipment category.
If under material handling the VAT amount should be admissible without doubt.
If under MV then the issue may have to be examined in detail.

Thanks for reply Sir,
Its not a Motor Vehicle, Its a Goods Vehicles which carries the concrete to the client site and dump there. Our sale process is completes after the delivery to the cleints site only. So as a capital goods we have claimed the inputtax in the VAT 100. but at the time of audit from the dept they are not accepting the claim as they are saying it comes under the MV as its register under RTO. and asking to bring any notifications or ammendments which suports the claim then only we will accept other wise give the defference tax to the dept.
Dear sir its very urgent kindly sugest what steps we have to take to prove we are correct as per KVAT.
Regards,
Harish

In Karnataka VAT, the treatment of input tax credit (ITC) on capital goods, such as transit mixers, can indeed be complex. Here’s how you should approach the situation:
### Input Tax Credit on Capital Goods under Karnataka VAT
**1. Definition and Eligibility:**
- **Capital Goods:** Under Karnataka VAT Act, capital goods generally include machinery and equipment used in the course of manufacturing or production.
- **Transit Mixers:** Although transit mixers are motor vehicles, they are used primarily as capital goods in the manufacturing process for transporting ready-mix concrete. Therefore, they are typically considered part of the manufacturing equipment.
**2. Eligibility for ITC:**
- **ITC on Capital Goods:** According to the Karnataka VAT Act, input tax credit on capital goods can be claimed provided that the goods are used in the course of business. Transit mixers used to transport concrete to the client site are used directly in the manufacturing process and should, in principle, be eligible for ITC.
**3. Issue with Tax Authorities:**
- **Dispute with Authorities:** If the VAT department is disputing your claim, it may be because the transit mixers are registered as motor vehicles with the RTO. The department might argue that motor vehicles are generally not eligible for ITC under VAT.
**4. Relevant Notifications and Rules:**
- **Notification and Circulars:** Check for any specific notifications or circulars issued by the Karnataka VAT authorities that address the eligibility of ITC on motor vehicles used as capital goods.
**5. Steps to Address the Issue:**
- **Review Notifications:** Look for Karnataka VAT notifications or amendments that explicitly state the eligibility of ITC on capital goods, including motor vehicles used in manufacturing.
- **Document Usage:** Prepare documentation showing that the transit mixers are used exclusively in the manufacturing process and not for personal or non-business use.
- **Consult VAT Authorities:** Seek a written clarification from the Karnataka VAT authorities or consult with a tax professional to get official guidance or an exemption if applicable.
**6. Possible Legal Reference:**
- **Case Laws and Precedents:** Look into legal precedents or case laws where similar disputes have been resolved. These can provide insights into how such cases are generally interpreted and could support your claim.
**7. Filing Appeal:**
- **Appeal Procedure:** If the department’s decision is unfavorable and you have substantial grounds for your claim, consider filing an appeal with the relevant tax tribunal or authority.
**8. Compliance:**
- **Corrective Measures:** If the appeal is unsuccessful and you are required to pay the disputed amount, ensure to comply with any corrective measures or adjustments required by the VAT department.
### Summary
- **Eligibility:** Transit mixers, used in manufacturing processes, are generally eligible for ITC under Karnataka VAT.
- **Documentation:** Provide evidence that the mixers are used in the manufacturing process and consult relevant notifications.
- **Dispute Resolution:** Seek clarification from tax authorities or consult a tax professional for further action.
By taking these steps, you can support your claim for ITC on transit mixers and address any issues raised during the audit.
