Here the question is when the sale should take place under the Central Sales Tax Act. and the answer is when the goods will move from one state to another state. Here the goods is delivered in the same state hence G-VAT will be charged. As buyer is not registered under the GVAT hence in his sales tax return he will show it under the head " Purchase out of state and sell out of state " col. in his sales tax retrun. in this case it will be treated as local delivery and if the value of goods will cross the exemption limit under the G-Vat Act chennai person have to get registred himself under the GVAT Act. ( It may be TEMP reg.)and sales tax department will insted him to get reg himself

Refer-Issue ID-1220 The delivery of material within the Gujarat state is as per instructions of the buyer having paid for the material from chennai and hence he is taking delivery of the material from our Gujarat Factory(FOR).What is the Legal status for the Manufacturer if it is charging CST against Form-C in the invoice?

The delivery of material within the Gujarat state is covered under the G_VAT Act because buyer have taken a delivery of the material from your Gujarat Factory(FOR).Hence you can't sell it against form C . Assessing officer will reject the same and include the same in loacl sale

AI Summary

Chennai Buyer Reselling in Gujarat Must Apply G-VAT, Not CST, for Local Deliveries Under G-VAT Act. A query was raised about the applicable sales tax when a Chennai buyer, without a registered business in Gujarat, resells goods within Gujarat. The main issue was whether to charge Central Sales Tax (CST) or Gujarat Value Added Tax (G-VAT). One respondent clarified that since the goods are delivered within the same state, G-VAT applies. The buyer must declare it as 'Purchase out of state and sell out of state' in their tax return. If the value exceeds the exemption limit, the buyer must register under the G-VAT Act. Charging CST against Form-C is not permissible for local deliveries.
