Dear Sir,
pls tel me about surcharge.
Is this Surcharge is refundable or can we adjust this Vat Output to Vat Input Tax.
Please clarify.
1. The entry tax is only charged on a few items. Is steel (crv31) or steel products or hand tools like spanner, plier, etc taxable as per this new tax?
2. If an input material like a rubber sleeve which till now was taxed as per CST now enters Punjab, what all taxes will be levied on it?
CST or CST + entry tax.
Please help. I am really in a soup due to the change in tax structure.
if surcharge is payable on last date of month, that is adjustable in vat account like c.s.t. ?
Is this Surcharge is refundable or can we adjust this Vat Output to Vat Input Tax ?
Sub.: Surcharge on PUNJAB VALUE ADDED TAX
i) Is Surcharge include in VAT in Col.AMOUNT OF TAX in Form Vat-23 & Vat-24 ?
ii) Is Surcharge separately take in Vat Return Form-15 in Worksheet (Break up) ?
iii) Is Surcharge add in Output Tax in Col.Sr.No.3 of OUTPUT TAX in Form-15 ?
iv) Is excess Surcharge refundable as ITC ?
v) If any item sold by us in Punjab @ 12.5% + 10% Surcharge = 13.75% then what is the rate of tax for Inter-State Sale for the same item ? 12.5% or 13.75%
With Regards
is surcharge refundable or depositable if there is difference therein.
i am very confused that the surcharge is refundable or not
PLS. TELL ME, SURCHARGE IS APPLICABLE IN DELHI OR NOT.
Pls tell me, how will calculate the 13.75%
because the VAT is 12.50%
& Surcharge is 10%
so, the total should be 12.6%, but how the rate will be catched by 13.75%
