What is CST?
CST mean Central Sales Tax
It is tax on sale of goods outside state
What is CST Payable
Tax on Cst Sales is called Output CST
This Output Cst is called CST Payable
Note:-
While computing Vat,we do Output Vat-Input Vat
but in CST,Output CST is CST Payable
(Input CST is not reduced)
Difference between VAT and CST
| VAT | CST |
| It is a tax on sale of gooods within state | It is a tax on sale of gooods outside state |
| Vat Computation | CST Computation |
| Output Vat | Output Cst |
| Less | |
| Input Vat | |
| Vat Payable | CST Payable |
Hence there is no Input Cst
