Dear Colleagues

As far as my understanding if goods are moving from one state to other state then CST will attract even the invoice is raised from same state and if it is in the other way i.e. within the state then VAT/Local sales tax will attract.

In this context my doubt is we are register with sales tax authority tamilndu as Chennai is our register office and all invoices are rasing from here, but we are having branches across the india. now we want to sales an old vehcle which is situated in Mumbai and it selling to a Mumbai employee. Hence there is no movement of goods from one state to other. So VAT will attract and which should go to Maharasthra Govt. but as we are not register with Maharasthra Govt. and invoice is raisng from chennai address; which tax will attract ?

If VAT then to how it should? Maharasthra then how will remitte as we not registered with that Govt. and for only sale of scrap it is not preactical?
