MRP can varry from state to state. Like Diesel & Petrol is cheaper in Delhi while its much expensive in Mumbai because of Tax variation. Many items in Delhi are charged @ 5% which are charged @ 13% in MP. That's the reason government is pushing GST so that prices are same all over India.

But from any state you buy the item and even if they charge VAT or CST or any other tax, the final MRP for us remains the same. Moreover they print a valid TIN number on their bills, so why should we, as the buyer worry ?

No such law imho. As per law they have to collect VAT & issue local state invoice if they have a Branch office & not delivery network. And having a Branch office in every state is not possible from e-commerce companies. Flipkart sent me (Katni, MP) a router from Bangalore & they charged 5% CST on invoice which is correct.

As per law, they must collect local VAT and issue local state address (Branch office) invoice. After all they have own delivery network in each state. It's huge loose poll inside, even above 5K worth of item buyer can't buy from other state, if required buyer must be demand way-bill from Sales Tax department. That's why lot of e-commerce sites not shipping items in WB and Assam. No if the buyer sells directly with VAT only then no need of CST as explained... As for CST he has to prove that he sold out of state(So the seller needs C Form) he can VAT rebates....
