Vat escaping

Hi,

I am from Andhra Pradesh,

we are doing the fisheries business, we transport the fishes to north india. while transporting the fishes to North India we are using the ice.

Fisheries business is exempted from VAT, ice we purchased attracks the VAT.

Now we are intersted to acquire the ice plant so that we directly consume.

So can I able to avoid the VAT, since there is no sale element of the ice, moreover ice is incidental to my fisheries business.

Please suggest whether I able to avoid the VAT

   Yes VAT is not applicable on ice in this case. You are using ice for packing purpose and preserving the fish during transit. no sale invoice is raised and there is intention of both the consignor and consignee to sell or buy the ice. As you said it is incidental to this sale. Further, vat is leviable on the material used for packing of goods when such goods are taxable. When the packed goods are exempt from VAT  the packing material used while despatching them are also exempt.......mjk
