What is the VAT Rate in Delhi?
Different commodities have different VAT Rates. There are some commodities that are tax-exempted while some are taxed.The Delhi VAT Schedule lists all the commodities, organisations, goods, and individual dealers that fall under the purview of VAT.
Here is a brief list of the VAT Rate in Delhi as per the Schedule:
- Nil: Goods and services that fall under this category are exempt from VAT. These are mainly items that are basic and sold in the unorganized sector. Examples of such items include khadi, salt, etc.
- 1%: VAT is charged at 1% for the items under this category. 1% VAT is usually charged on relatively expensive items. The reason why VAT is charged at 1% on expensive goods is that increasing the rate of VAT will considerably increase the prices of the items that fall under this category. Some of the examples of products that fall under this category include gold, silver, precious stones, etc.
- 4-5%: VAT is charged at 4% to 5% on certain items that are used on a daily basis. Examples of items that attract VAT at 4-5% include cooking oil, tea, medicines, etc.
- General: Items that fall under the general category attract VAT at 12% to 15. The items that fall under this category are mainly luxury items such as cigarettes, alcohol, etc.
