in andhra pradesh CST number and VAT number is same but i saw some out of state bills in that VAT and CST numbers are different and different format also
please kindly explain is there difference in CST AND VAT numbers in other states
Before last few years ago the sales tax department is allows the separate sales tax no like local and cst. Now both rc. no is same and called as the TIN no.Ok.
