Hi Kesha Vat is not levied on courier Expenses.,it is service tax which is levied on courier services.you can take setoff of vat on all purchases which you use in business i.e manufacturing or trading, you can also avail setoff on purchase of Fixed assets used in Business subject to retention of sepecified percentage.
