Latest Answer: And remember, Since VAT is a state subject, various states have their own laws for levying VAT. To overcome the difficulty in ascertaining the exact cost of materials in the agreement amount, states like Maharashtra provide for the payment of VAT on the entire value of the agreement, under a ‘composition scheme’. In Maharashtra, the rate of VAT under this composition scheme, is 1% of the total agreement value.
