My Client(Andhra Pradesh) is purchasing cotton from kerala,Both my client and seller are Registered dealers of vat
seller issues invoice by imposing CST of 5% instead of 2%.My client gives reason for that as
seller wish to use vat paid by him as credit against this sale, for that purpose he collects vat rate instead of cst rate
is it possible to do so?
i think seller do this for the following reason
he paid a vat(5%) of rs 10000(kerala),he is just dealing with interstate sales.he make a sale of rs 500000 to a dealer in ap
in which cst of 10000 should be payable for which no credit shall be available.so he is liable to pay cst of rs 10000
he thought if i collect cst @ 5%,he can set off vat paid of rs 10000 as input tax credit, no furthur liability to pay cst exists
is this treatment is correct? if not possible what should our client do?
wish an early reply
thanks in advance
