different states, seller has o colect tax from the buyer at
prescribed rate. If the dealer isa registered dealer, then
assessee can sell at discounted rate of 2% if forms are
used as prescribed in CST Act, 1956

CST is a sale from one state to another state against form
C. the rate of tax is 2%.
full CST sale is a sale where there is no requirement of the
form C and the tax will be full tax of vat of the selling state.
VAT is a sale within the state. the rate of tax depends upon
the products and the state policies (in some cases)
EXCISE DUTY is a duty paid on all the products manufactured
(except some products exempted from the duty) at the
manufacturing level only. the tax depends on the products.
