a lot on confusion on ITC on capital goods! but, it's not a matter for confusion because as VAT is concern_capital goods are entitled for ITC if that capital goods directly or indirectly related with business for taxable items. ITC on capital goods like purchase against (C) concessional benefit of tax. you should have to prove that there is no revenue loss and that particular capital good is not listed as Non- creditable good

1. Lets understand first that under VAT regime whatever input tax is paid on purchases including capital assets purchases and also vat on expenses inucrred are entitled for VAT setoff , which can be adjusted agaisnt VAT Payable.
2. VAT on capital assests purchases are subject to provisions of rules of respecitve states. In maharashtra state purchases which are used to erect , construct immovabale goods, no set off is avaliable. At the same time Capital assets like office equipment, furniture and fixture, elecrrical installation etc, dealer is entitled for VAT paid on it subject to retention of 3%
3. if dealer manufacturer only tax free goods, then treatement of capital goods vat input have different treatment.
4. Please state specific querry and state , then one can answer specifically
thats all for the pen right now
