This document summarizes a summer internship project on documenting and understanding the procedures and documentation of sales tax (MVAT) in Kirloskar Pneumatic Company Limited (KPCL). The project involved studying MVAT acts, rules and regulations in Maharashtra and comparing them to procedures followed at KPCL. The intern observed invoice generation, reviewed software and forms used, and analyzed VAT paid over the last 5 years. The intern found KPCL to be compliant with MVAT requirements and did not have any recommendations, noting the topic revolves around government laws and regulations.

7. VALUE ADDED TAX (VAT)
VAT is a broad-based commodity tax that is
levied at multiple stages of production.
 Indirect tax on the consumption of the goods,
paid by its original producers upon the change
in goods or upon the transfer of the goods to
its ultimate consumers.
Based on the value of the goods, added by the
transferor. It is the tax in relation to the
difference of the value added by the
transferor and not just a profit.

8. All over the world, VAT is payable on the goods and services
as they form a part of national GDP. It means every seller of
goods and service provider charges the tax after availing the
input tax credit
It is the form of collecting sales tax under which tax is
collected in each stage on the value added of the goods.
VAT will replace the existing system of inspection by a system
of built-in self-assessment by traders and manufacturers.
The tax structure will become simple and more transparent
and tax compliance will improve significantly
Under VAT revenue is collected throughout the production
process without distorting any production decisions

9. ADVANTAGES

12. How VAT works

made up of two elements; the selling price of
the goods and the tax on the sale.
• The tax is payable to the State Government.
The tax payable on sales is to be calculated on
the selling price.
• The tax paid on purchases supported by a,
valid tax invoice is generally available as set-
off (input, tax credit) while discharging the tax
liability on sales.

42. AREA OF RESEARCH
Why VAT is
preferred
over sales
tax?
Difference
between
VAT and CST.
VAT effect
on inflation.
VAT effect
on
economic
growth.

43. Why VAT is preferred over SALES TAX?
In sales tax, final sales are not covered by the tax
system e.g. due to difficulty of covering all the retailers,
particular commodities may not yield any tax whereas
with VAT some revenue would have been collected
through taxation of earlier transactions, or eliminates
the problem of tax cascading, which often occurs with
sales tax.
Sales tax is often applied again to the sales tax element
of the cost, thus there is a problem of tax on tax. This is
not the case with VAT, which makes it a neutral tax as it
provides the least disturbance to patterns of
production and the generation and use of income.
This is made possible by the fact that one person’s
output is another’s input. As with sales tax imports
are treated the same way as local goods while
exports are zero- rated to avoid anti-export bias.

44. Difference between VAT & CST
Under the CST Act, the tax is collected at one stage of
purchase or sale of goods. Therefore, the burden of the full
tax bond is borne by only one dealer, either the first or the last
dealer.
The VAT system, the tax burden would be shared by all the
dealers from first to last. Then, such tax would be passed
upon the final consumers.
Under the CST Act, the tax is levied at a single point. Under
the VAT system, the retailers are not subject to tax except for
the retail tax.
Under the CST law, concessional rates are provided on certain
taxes. The VAT regime will do away with such concessions as
it would provide the full credit on the tax that has been paid
earlier.

45. VAT effect on INFLATION
In considering the introduction of VAT, countries are often
concerned that it would cause an inflationary spiral.
However there is no evidence to suggest that this is true.
Survey of OECD countries that introduced VAT indicated
that VAT had little or no effect on prices.
In cases where there was an effect it was a onetime effect
that simply shifted the trend line of the consumer price
index (CPI).
To guard against any unforeseen price effects the
authorities may consider a tighter monetary policy stance
at the introduction of VAT

46. VAT effect on Economic Growth
Economic growth can be facilitated through investment by
both government and the private sector. Savings by both
parties are required in order to finance investment in anon-
inflationary manner.
Compared to other broadly based taxes such as income tax
VAT is neutral with respect to choices on whether to
consume now or save for future consumption.
Although VAT reduces the absolute return on saving it
does not reduce the net rate of return on saving.
Income tax reduces the net rate of return as both the
amount saved as well as the return on that saving are
subject to tax.

47. RECOMMENDATIONS
KPCL Finance Department particularly Sales Tax
Department is maintaining all the documents and
invoices as per the requirement of Department of
Sales Tax under government of Maharashtra.
After the study of Documentation and Procedure of
MVAT in KPCL.
No recommendations as KPCL is doing its work as
per the latest rule sand regulations of
department of sales tax.

48. Limitations of the study
The project DOCUMENTATION AND PROCEDURE
OF SALES TAX (MVAT)is a topic that revolves
around laws, rules and regulations of the
GOVERNMENT of MAHARASHTRA. Hence, there
was very less scope for practical implementation
and analysis.
It is a very vast domain and in a period of less
than 8 weeks it was not possible to cover all
aspects in details and study each and every law,
procedure or exemption in detail.

49. Scope for Future Improvement
KPCL Finance Department particularly Sales Tax
Department is maintaining all the documents
and invoices as per the requirement of
Department of Sales Tax under government of
Maharashtra.
All the invoices are updated on daily basis.
Hence no recommendations to KPCL on this
part.
