Dear Vikash/Priya/Swati

VAT is a state legislation and CST is central Legislation, for which state wise laws are there and ICAI syllabus covers only Laws applicable for whole of india.

So prepare for CST, however on VAT conseptual questions (not state specific for related to ACT or Ruesl) can be there from VAT.

Good luck for PE-II,
Should you need further clarification dont hesitate in mailing me mail at balaji_857 @ rediffmail.com

Hi!

I am also pursuing PE-2, I think since LST i.e, local sale tax has been changed and that too not in all states, CST being applicable to whole of India. CST will remain as a subject in PE-2, however, due to VAT, there are chances of question relating to general concept about VAT. so, more of CST and less VAT.

In the CST Act, there is a change in proceedural requirement for submission and collection of all statutory forms-C/F/D/H.

As per the Not.GSR588(E)/16.9.2005{F.24/1/2005-ST}, all the registered dealers are required to submit statutory forms against sales made by them on a quarterly basis effective from 1.10.2005.

The above change is in place of submission of one C/F/D/H form for all the transactions made during the financial year between one dealer and another dealer as prevalent earlier.
In otherwords for transactions made with the same dealer during the financial year, you are required to submit 4 statutory forms depending on the nature of your transactions.

It is also provided in the notification that there is a time limit up to the end of subsequent quarter for submission of these statutory forms(i.e, for the quarter ending 31.12.05 last date for submission is 31.3.2006) unless and otherwise time is extended by the Assessing officer for which specific application is to be made by the dealer.
