[Raman Singla]

What will the input tax credit in GST (18%) for VAT @5% ????

e.g. ₹10000/- paid VAT is on books for purchase of 2 lacs...now if sale is made of 2 lacs , GST wil be @15 % = ₹36000/-

How much tax should be deposited ??????

Vat will be entered in tran 1 so that it will be available as sgst credit.

AI Summary

VAT credit declared in transition can be used to offset SGST liability but not IGST.
Payment of pre-GST VAT may be declared in TRAN-1 to make the VAT amount available as credit under GST; the credited VAT is eligible to be set off against GST liability and, as described in the replies, is applied as SGST credit rather than being adjusted against IGST.
