If material is bought by paying vat(rs.25) & the same is utilised in providing services & the service bill raised is as below: material 1000 mvat 40 services 2000 serv. tax 10.3%
Can a set off be claimed O/P vat 40 less I/P vat 25 & balance deposited by 21st? Or for claiming set-off one has to be a pure trader ie doesnot provide service.
