The Tamil Nadu Value Added Tax (VAT) was enforced in January 2007. Value Added Tax or VAT is a tax on goods. The VAT is multi-stage. Goods are taxed in different stages of production and supply. So VAT taxes consumption and not the business.

There are various VAT links at the Website. The links include VAT Clarifications and VAT Circulars. For dealers, you can also find Commodities Rates and Commodities Search. You can also find out how to get refunds.
