• Entry tax

I am registered dealer in Maharashtra , I supply Ceramic tiles to Builders and retail shops in Mumbai. I am asked by Asst Commisioner of GST to pay Entry Tax on material purchased from gujarat for the period 2015-2016. As a registered dealer of Maharashtra I purchase goods Against C Form by paying 2% CST and pay 12.5% VAT to Maharashtra. How am I liable to pay Entry Tax for Goods purchased from other state ?? When I am paying VAT @12.5% & CST @2% Against C form.

Vat is taken by supplier state and entry tax is taken by purchaser state.

So both are different but first you need to check whether you have been served any proper notice for same.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

VAT and entry tax both are different taxes.  You need to check the applicability of the same on tiles.

Hello,

 

Entry tax is different from VAT. It is levied and collected on the entry of the goods specified into any local area for consumption, use or sale therein by the recipient state.

Please share the copy of the notice for the same.

I hope this answer satisfies your requirement.
