Concept of MVAT :

2. Concept of MVAT : Full name of the MVAT is Maharashtra Value Added Tax, it is applicable on Sales & Purchases of Goods. This is applicable only in the Maharashtra State since other states has different tax structure. Before introducing MVAT Sales Tax was applicable on Sales & Purchases of goods, but government found lot of lacunas in this act so they omitted this Sales Tax Act and introduces MVAT act against sales & purchases Under Sales Tax – Tax was applicable only in the first step when manufacturer removes material from the company or godown premises, and after this step there was no tax applicability on Sales & Purchases. This act is introduced from 01st April 2006. Now on the next slide we see how it is working with the example.
