Dear Ankit,

Please check definition of sale under Section 2 (u) (vi) of the MPVAT Act,2002 in this regard as amended from time to time.

AI Summary

Definition of sale determines VAT applicability on renting a rice mill, with a separate query on service tax liability. Whether VAT applies to renting a rice mill depends on whether renting is captured by the statutory definition of sale under the MP VAT legislation (refer to Section 2(u)(vi) as amended). The respondent advised checking that definition; the reply did not resolve the separate question of service tax applicability to renting the rice mill.
