Sale of used commercial vehciels

[Guest]

I am a dealer in used commercial vehicle, My query is, is there any VAT applicable for sale of used commercial vehicles and if yes then what percentage of VAT is applicable in the state of Maharashtra. And whether the VAT is applicable on the sale price of the vehicle or the difference between the sale and purchase price.

I also want to know if the VAT is applicable if he transfer the vehicle in his name and sells it or he does not transfer the vehicle in his name and sells it
