If the VAT is added on the base price + Import Duty then

He would be able to buy chocolates worth Rs. 82.816

82.816 + Import Duty @ 15% Rs.12.422 = 95.238

Add 5% VAT on 95.238
Rs. 4.762

95.238 + 4.762 = 100

Let us start with goods worth 100. Add 15% import duty it becomes 115. Add 5% VAT it becomes 120.75. So if we have 120.75, we get chocos worth 100. By ratio proportion If we have 100 we get chocos worth 100*100/120.75 i.e. 82.816 which is same as that of Mr. Anup Desai but we should explain how the figure of 82.816 has been arrived at.
