Guidance on Inter-State Hospital Drug Transfers Without Sales Tax Registration Under West Bengal VAT Act A user inquired about the procedure for transferring hospital drugs and consumables between states as an inter-unit transfer without being registered for sales tax. The response advised that hospitals are typically registered with VAT authorities due to sales activities. If the threshold for registration under the West Bengal VAT Act is not met, goods can be transferred with a challan indicating VAT payment in West Bengal, without claiming Input Tax Credit. It was recommended to include purchase bill photocopies and seek clarification from jurisdictional VAT authorities before proceeding with the transfer. (AI Summary)
