as machinary is Capital good, as per VAT Act. this is eligible for VAT credit as per prescribed manner in law. as far as oil is concern it is neither 'Direct RM' nor capital good, law denies for it's credit.actually it is very complicated as per Raw Material defination described in VAT act, if credit is allowed on processing material 'oil' can be treated as processing material, if it is not being used for power generation. as far as concern to CST paid on purcahses, it is not avilable for set off against pat payable.
