1075 The Advertiser Dear Sir, I would like to have the following clarification with respect to VAT. 1. We are an Ayurvedic
Pharma Producer. We have to charge sales tax on our MRP, which is inclusive of Sales tax. Our chain of distribution is as under : Company to Superstockists, stockists, retailers and finally the consumer. 1. Whether all parties involved in the distribution should charge VAT calculated on MRP and take the credit for the VAT tax paid on their purchases? In effect the parties commencing from 2nd stage will not pay any tax. Alternatively whether the first stage seller will be charging a
tax and thereafter nobody will charge, is it so? 3. In case
where 3rd party manufacturer is involved, whether the manufacturer of the pharma product should also charge VAT on MRP of our product. Kindly clarify.
Only manufacturers and importers are to charge VAT on MRP. Please refer Trade Circular no.1 T of 2005 dt. 1.4.05 available on the website.
