08 December 2010 Some CTO's can accept the warranty claim as free of cost. but, some CTO's object the warranty claim is a part of sales. you are collecting the money from Company instead of customer. so, it is treated as sales. Hence, if you want to escape from this problem, you better to receive the letter from company for warranty claim is a stock transfer, amounting without affect VAT on transfer and you must raise and show the 0% vat output bill for such case to CTO.
