Sales tax and vat are same things upto 31.3.2005 there is local sales tax and w.e f 1.4.2005 local sales tax is converted into VAT.There is on different thing Central Sales Tsx and it is applicable in case of sales from one state to another and such case VAT/ Sales tax is not applicable. Therefore rate of tax differee does not any difference
