I have also purchased goods in 8% sales tax rate also.I want to know while doing stock valuation the cost of stocks how to calculate. i should consider the sales tax rate 8 or 5. should i bifercate the stock in 8% and 5% or should i calculate stock value only considering 8%. please reply...........

because there may be some items u purchased of 5% that is why, in case if at present there is no stock of 5% in closing stock then do not bifurcate

but sir i purchased goods in 5% and will sell it on 8%. so for stock valuation purpose we took the cost at present so at present cost is on 8% ......so why should i consider 5%

in your question the first line u wrote that u had some purchases made at 5% and then it increase to 8%....so in closing stock there may be some purchase u made have left of 5% sales tax.

i told you again im repeatinf suppose there are 100 items in your closing stock consisting of 50 items of 5% and 50 items of 8% then if you do not have exact data of which items are there in closing stock as there may combination of type of items in stock then you must classify the stocks into 5% and 8% respectively
