Karnataka sales tax @ 4% for Printed catalogues,Just i want know what is the CST Rate for inter state sales with "C" Form or without "C" Form
20 July 2024
As of my last update, the Central Sales Tax (CST) rate for inter-state sales of goods, including printed catalogues, varied depending on whether the sale was made with or without a Form "C".
1. **CST Rate with Form "C":** If you sell printed catalogues to a buyer in another state and the buyer provides you with a Form "C" issued under CST rules, the CST rate applicable would generally be lower than the normal rate. This reduced rate is meant to promote inter-state trade by compensating for the taxes paid in the originating state. The exact rate would depend on the state-specific agreements and notifications under the CST Act.
2. **CST Rate without Form "C":** If you sell printed catalogues to a buyer in another state without obtaining a Form "C" or if Form "C" is not applicable for any reason, the CST rate applicable would typically be higher, equivalent to the local VAT rate applicable in the selling state.
To get the precise CST rate applicable for inter-state sales of printed catalogues from Karnataka, whether with or without Form "C", you should consult the latest CST rules and notifications issued by the Karnataka Commercial Taxes department or the GST authorities. These rates may have been updated post-GST implementation, as GST has subsumed CST.
For current and specific advice tailored to your business situation, including GST implications, it's advisable to consult with a local tax advisor or GST practitioner who can provide accurate information based on the latest regulations and notifications.
