Capital Assets vs. Capital Goods: It is important to observe that the DVAT
Act has defined the term “capital goods” and not “capital assets”. “Capital
assets” is a wider term and covers all capital goods which are used for the
purpose of business, and therefore, will include those capital goods which
are not included in the definition of “capital goods”, e.g., furniture, motor
vehicles, etc. Whenever under the DVAT Act, the legislature has used the
term “capital assets”, its intention is to enlarge the scope. When, the term
“capital asset” is used in the definition of business under section 2(1) (d),
the intention is to cover sale of all capital assets. Therefore, for the purpose
of the DVAT Act, we can say that the term “capital assets” is genesis and
the term “capital goods” is its specie.
3. Input Tax: in relation to the purchase of goods, means the proportion of the
price paid by the buyer for the goods which represent tax for which the
selling dealer is liable under this Act.
4. Net Tax: means the amount calculated for a tax period under section 11 of
this Act.
