27 October 2012 If you are not dealer as per definition, you are not obligation to hold RC/TIN. Charging sect. for liability to hold RC is applicable to dealer only.

31 October 2012 Further to add, a dealer is defined under the WBVAT Act as a person who is engaged in the business of sale and purchase of goods. The facts of your query do not state the business you are engaged in. Hence if you are in the business of sale and purchase of goods, Vat should be applicable on sale of computers.
