[Binu Karuthedath]

Dear Sir

One of the Assessee is registered Kerala VAT and manufacturer of Ayurvedic Medicines as per the Drug License and also they have choose an option to pay Tax on MRP under section 8 for preceding year and issue invoice in the form 8H .Now assessee is decided that not opting compounding payment this year , is this right? is any problem to assessee from VAT

Sir, the provision of charging VAT on MRP is optional under KVAT. Your choice of either charging VAT on MRP or on Sale value should be communicated to the Department. In my view you can switch the option. Thanks.
