06 June 2014 When i am making a purchase and i enter the purchase bill into tally, i select VAT 4% and 1% and enter the respective amounts.

I need to know what should be the group in tally for the VAT 4% and 1% line item. Should it be duties and taxes? or it should be under purchase?

08 June 2014 Hi Ankit, can you please let me know why it should be under Purchase? i am giving the eg of my entry

* Purchase Rs.1000
* VAT 4% Rs.500
* VAT 1% Rs.500

Total value of the bill - Rs. 2000

So, the line item VAT 4% and 1% will be under the head duties & taxes or purchase?
