**Purchase Tax on Goods Purchased from Unregistered Dealers**
### **1. Impact on Purchasing Party:**
**a. **VAT and Purchase Tax Implications:**
1. **Purchase Tax:**
- **Applicability:** In many states, including Maharashtra, if a business purchases goods from an unregistered dealer, the purchasing party may be liable to pay purchase tax. This is because unregistered dealers do not charge VAT on their sales, and thus, the purchasing party needs to pay the VAT directly to the state government as a purchase tax.
- **Rates:** The rate of purchase tax may vary by state and type of goods. For instance, in Maharashtra, the purchase tax rate is typically 5% for certain goods if purchased from unregistered dealers.
2. **Input Tax Credit (ITC):**
- **No ITC:** When purchasing from an unregistered dealer, you generally cannot claim input tax credit (ITC) on the VAT paid on such purchases. This is because ITC is typically available only for purchases from registered dealers.
3. **Documentation:**
- **Invoices and Proof:** The purchasing party should obtain valid proof of purchase and maintain proper records. This helps in demonstrating compliance with purchase tax regulations and handling any disputes that may arise.
### **2. Purchase Tax on Interstate Purchases:**
**a. **Applicability:**
1. **Interstate Purchases from Registered Dealers:**
- **CST Instead of VAT:** For interstate purchases made from registered dealers, Central Sales Tax (CST) is applicable rather than VAT. The CST rate is usually lower than VAT rates, and it is collected by the seller and paid to the central government.
- **ITC on CST:** Businesses can often claim input tax credit for CST paid on interstate purchases if the purchased goods are used in the manufacture of taxable goods or for resale.
2. **Interstate Purchases from Unregistered Dealers:**
- **Purchase Tax:** For interstate purchases from unregistered dealers, the purchasing party may be liable to pay purchase tax or VAT as per the state’s regulations. This is because unregistered dealers do not collect CST, and the purchasing party may need to self-assess and pay the VAT.
**b. **Procedure for Purchase Tax on Interstate Purchases:**
1. **Self-Assessment:** The purchasing party may need to self-assess and pay the applicable VAT or purchase tax on interstate purchases from unregistered dealers. This usually involves filing a return and paying the tax to the respective state government.
2. **Documentation:** Maintain proper documentation for interstate purchases, including invoices, shipping documents, and proof of payment. This is crucial for compliance and to support any claims for input tax credit.
### **Examples of Purchase Tax and Interstate Purchases:**
1. **Example of Purchase from Unregistered Dealer:**
- **State:** Maharashtra
- **Purchase:** A business buys machinery from an unregistered dealer.
- **Purchase Tax:** The business must pay purchase tax at the rate of 5% on the purchase value.
2. **Example of Interstate Purchase:**
- **State:** Karnataka
- **Purchase:** A business in Karnataka buys raw materials from a registered dealer in Tamil Nadu.
- **CST:** The business pays CST (e.g., 2%) on the purchase value, and can claim ITC on this CST.
3. **Example of Interstate Purchase from Unregistered Dealer:**
- **State:** Gujarat
- **Purchase:** A business in Gujarat buys goods from an unregistered dealer in Maharashtra.
- **Purchase Tax:** The business may need to self-assess and pay VAT as per Gujarat’s VAT rules.
**Summary**
- **Purchasing from Unregistered Dealers:** Purchase tax may be applicable, and no ITC is generally available.
- **Interstate Purchases:** CST is applicable for purchases from registered dealers. For unregistered dealers, the purchasing party may need to self-assess and pay purchase tax or VAT.
It is essential to stay updated with the specific VAT/Purchase Tax regulations in your state and consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance.
