Under CST rule for rate of tax is very simple:
1. If inter-state sale is without C FORM then CST rate will be equal to VAT rate as applicable on that particular commodity in selling state.
2. If inter-state sale is with C FORM then rate of tax will be 2% (in some of the states rate of tax against C FORM is 1%, that is to say Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Goa (area based exemptiom))
