The items to be purchased interstate should be incorporated in the CST registration. Further the said item should be used in manufacture or processing of goods. So Now you have decided whether forklift is included in the certificate and whether it is used in manudacturing or processing of goods. The answer you will get .

Dear expert,

As per the c form is concern, if the vehicle is purchased for the purpose of mining is allowed. My question is that, one of my client is providing services as manpower, digging work and transportation to mining owners. And they are purchasing tipper vehicle against form c from outside tamilnadu. whether as per the cst act is correct or they have to pay full tax and purchase the vehicle.

Whereas they have registered under tnvat and cst act and they sells some of the machinery parts to the mining owners whose engaging their own machines in the mining activities.

Further, they have registered under service tax and paying the service tax promptly. And availing the cenvat credit on the capital goods as tipper vehicles.

If anything wrong kindly clarify.
