What is C - Form
C-Form
is a certificate issued as proof of CST Purchase. This form can be obtained
from sales tax dept. The seller has to obtained
this form – C from the purchaser and show it to the sales tax dept to
get tax exemption. In case if the purchaser does not release the Form – C the seller has
to pay the Tax at the time of sales tax assessments.
Form C is issued by the dealer for purchasing goods from the dealer out
side the state in which he resides the effect can be understood my
looking at following example If Mr A Registered Dealer in Hyderabad (AP) wants to purchase goods from
Mr B a registered dealer in Mumbai.Mr B who is selling the goods will
charge VAT @ 4% or 14.5% on the goods if Mr A issues him “C” Form then
Mr B should Charge him CST @ 2% so Mr A is SAving Tax.
It will be safe for the seller if he can get a D.D. for the tax amount of the goods which is sold to the purchaser. Because sometime the purchaser fail to provide the form – C to the seller due to unknown reasons, at this time this D.D. which is collected will be off much helpful to the seller.
