24 November 2012 Mr Author,
A seller cannot charge/collect both VAT and CST on the same transaction.On a local sale only VAT and on a interstate sale only CST is to be collected.You may ask the seller to refund the VAT collected on this sale. However as both these taxes are collected in Gujarat you cannot claim it as input in Mumbai.....MJK
