Both are coming under 44AB...........that is at cost or at market price? and will there be VAT effect in that?

As both are different entities, both shall have effect of the transactions taking place between them. Now it is upto them to decide at what price to transfer, whether at market rate or cost. However, they cant transfer them at a price above arms length price as such transactions wont be allowed under Income Tax Act the the excess price paid over the arms length prices shall be disallowed. As sais earlier, is is upto the parties to decide the price and accounting shall be done on the same price. So, if the turnover as achieved on the basis of price so entered exceeds 40 lakhs then tax audit shall be applicable.

Further as the parties have separate existence, the same shall be applicable in case of VAT also. So, the provisions of VAT are also applicable to the transactions between them.
