A manufacturer X sells a refrigerator to a trader Y for ₹ 22500. The trader Y sells it to a trader Z at a profit of ₹ 1250 and trader Z sell it to a consumer at a profit of
₹ 1000. If the rate of value added tax (VAT) is 4%, find the total amount of tax (under VAT ) received by the government on the scale of the refrigerator.
Rs. 990
We have,
Amount of tax collected by the manufacturer X = 4% of ₹ 22500
= ₹ (4×22500100) = ₹ 900.
Since the trader Y earns a profit of ₹ 1250.
So, the value added by the trader Y = ₹ 1250.
Amount of VAT to be paid by trader Y = 4% of ₹1250
= ₹ (4100×1250) = ₹ 50
The trader Z earns a profit of Rs.1000. So, the value added by the trader Z = ₹ 1000
So, Amount of VAT to be paid by trader Z = 4%of ₹ 1000 = ₹ 40.
Hence, total amount of tax (under VAT) received by government = ₹ 900 + ₹ 50 + ₹ 40 = ₹ 990.
