We are a manufacturing Concern in Steel Sector.The Query is regarding the POT of the transaction. we are selling goods to Interstate party @2% against the C form. The word "Ex factory" is mentioned in the Invoice. The party deals with all the transportation charges & obligation & the same issues the Consignment Note where the concerned state is mentioned..
Recently an investigation has been done by the VAT authority and they are treating the said sales as local Sales & charging the difference amount @ 2% on the affected sales.
Any suggestion in this regard how to deal wid the case & favour the case in our side.

in my opinion - Sales tax is VAT or CST is decided on its movement. even if you hand over the material to party as ex-factory, but you knowing at the time of sale, that material shall move outside state, CST must be charged.
