VAT will replace the present sales tax in India. Under the current single-point system of tax levy, the manufacturer or importer of goods into a State is liable to sales tax. There is no sales tax on the further distribution channel. VAT, in simple terms, is a multi-point levy on each of the entities in the supply chain with the facility of set-off of input tax - that is, the tax paid at the stage of purchase of goods by a trader and on purchase of raw materials by a manufacturer. Only the value addition in the hands of each of the entities is subject to tax. For instance, if a dealer purchases goods for Rs 100 from another dealer and a tax of Rs 10 has been charged in the bill, and he sells the goods for Rs 120 on which the dealer will charge a tax of Rs 12 at 10 per cent, the tax payable by the dealer will be only Rs 2, being the difference between the tax collected of Rs 12 and tax already paid on purchases of Rs 10. Thus, the dealer has paid tax at 10 per cent on Rs 20 being the value addition in his hands.
Purchase price - Rs 100
Tax paid on purchase - Rs 10 (input tax)
Sale price - Rs 120
Tax payable on sale price - Rs 12 (output tax)
Input tax credit - Rs 10
VAT payable - Rs 2

There is no such term as gross of VAT. The amount with VAT is called the gross amount while the net of VAT is the amount after the VAT has been deducted.
To calculate VAT input and output, first identify the VAT you paid on purchases (input VAT) and the VAT you charged on sales (output VAT). Input VAT is the tax included in the cost of goods or services acquired for business use, while output VAT is the tax collected from customers on sales. To determine the VAT you owe to the tax authorities, subtract the total input VAT from the total output VAT. If the output VAT exceeds the input VAT, you pay the difference; if the input VAT exceeds the output VAT, you may be eligible for a VAT refund.
To reclaim VAT, you need to be a registered business that has paid VAT on goods or services. You can reclaim the VAT by submitting a VAT return to the tax authorities, detailing the VAT you have paid and the VAT you have charged. This process allows you to receive a refund for the VAT you have paid.
