03 February 2009 We (in Punjab) purchase Tea Vending Machines from Himachal with CST.
1. On Sale we charge VAT 12.5%
2. Some machines we installed on customer site against refundable security )equal to Sale Value). Security is refundable after charging depreciation.

My question is
in case of machine installed on security what will be the VAT liability?

Thanks
Arun
