Something is wrong.

I am asking for eligible set-off under Maharashtra VAT for capital purchase

I had read somewhere that we can claim balance % ( after deducting 4 % from tax amount ) as set-off.

Kindly clarify

After deducting 3% from 12.5%or 4% remaining set off is available i.s 9.5% & 1%

For the F.Y. 2008-2009 shall we take balance 10.5% ( 12.5% - 2% ) or 2% ( 4% - 2% )

Because the CST rate has been reduced to 2% from June onwards.

My question is , the % which we are deducting must be similar to CST rate. Because in F.Y. 2005-2006 we are dedudting 4% , in F.Y. 2006-2007 we were deducting 3% which is equivalent to CST rate equivalent to that year.

Dear Amit,

You are right on that part, but there is no amendment in the rules till now, so you continue with " Three percent". when the notification or amendment will be done than you only take changes.
