VAT/CST Structure base in Tamil Nadu

[Vidhi Agroyee]

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

We have branch in Tamil Nadu, where our vendor charge sales tax on cumulative basis(Sales Tax over Gross Amount + Service Tax), but when we go to the customer he doesn't accept it.

Can you please explain or make us understand this to us or is there any notification or circular regarding this which we can refer and share to our customer.

Regards
