Manufacturing & Industrial Tax
Manufacturing industries face high VAT complexity: Input VAT from raw material and machinery purchases must be managed for optimal crediting. Risk of VAT overpayment often occurs due to timing of sales vs purchases. Arunika Consulting helps factories manage VAT and Article 22 Income Tax obligations so cash flow is not disrupted.

Tax Challenges
Chronic VAT Overpayment
Raw material and machinery capex purchases at the beginning cause Input VAT > Output VAT, resulting in overpayment that must be refunded.
Long Refund Process
VAT refund applications require examination that can take 6-12 months, disrupting cash flow.
Article 22 Income Tax Cannot Be Directly Credited
Article 22 Income Tax collected during raw material purchases becomes tax credit at year-end, not direct deduction.
