Solution
The cost price of good purchased by Sunder Dass= ₹960000
Tax paid (VAT) = ₹62750
Sale of goods worth = ₹400000
Rate of VAT = 6%
∴ Total VAT
= `400000 xx (6)/(100)`
= ₹24000
Sale of goods worth 480000
Rate of VAT = 12.5%
= `(25)/(2)%`
VAT paid
= `₹480000 xx (25)/(2 xx 100)`
= ₹60000
Sale of goods worth ₹95640
Tax exempted
Total VAT
= ₹24000 + ₹60000
= ₹84000
Tax paid to Govt. (VAT)
= ₹62750
Tax liability
= ₹84000 – ₹ 62750
= ₹21250.
