In Release 5.0 or above tally make lots of changes in their software. In this tutorials, we know about VAT Configuration in TallyERP.9 above release 5. We have a query on our facebook fan page for configuration of vat in Tally.

For resolving this problem, we have to first configure our sales and purchase ledgers.

For example.

A purchase goods from B for Rs. 26250 including vat of Rs. 1250 (@5%), then a normal entry will be passed for this

Cr.     B                                                    26250

Dr.    Purchase  5%             25000

Dr.    Input Vat 5%               1250

In this case we have configure Purchase Ledger with Tax Rate @ 5%. If you already have Purchase Ledger then alter this and select yes as Set / Alter Statutory Details. Following details appear on Screen.

After selecting yes, a new window will appear on your screen for configuring purchase transaction @ 5%. (See below pic)
