Query related to interstate sale

[Guest]

I am a registered VAT dealer in the state of Andhra Pradesh. I have 2 scenarios on which i want some clarification. They are as follows:

Scenario 1:

I want to import goods in the state of TamilNadu (here by referred to as TN) and sell it in TN, but I don't have a local VAT registration in TN. How can I proceed further with the transaction? What kind of tax to be levied on the sales? How should be the invoice format?

Scenario 2:

I want to buy from TN manufacturers and sell it in TN, but I don't have a local VAT registration in TN. How can I proceed further with the transaction? What kind of tax to be levied on the sales? How should be the invoice format?

Awaiting a valuable solution.

Regards,

Mithilesh
