Section 4 of KVAT Act provides a mechanism whereby a dealer dealing in pharmaceutical products may pay VAT at the applicable rate on the basis of the MRP of the product.

A clarification has also been issued to state that the taxable turnover shall not include the tax payable and the same shall be deducted from the MRP.

Partial rebating – Rule 131 read with section 17

Where a registered dealer deducting input tax,

a) makes sales of taxable goods and goods exempt u/s 5 or

b) in addition to those sales, dispatches taxable goods or goods exempted u/s 5 outside the  state otherwise than a direct result of sale or purchase in the course of interstate trade or

c) puts to use the inputs purchased for any other purpose (other than sale, manufacturing processing , packing or storing of goods),

In addition to the use in course of his business, he shall be required to apportion and attribute the input tax between such sales/dispatches and other purposes.

The scheme of partial rebating would also apply to petroleum products (eligible for set off).

The rule deals with finding out the non-deductible input tax as follows -

(Sales of exempt goods + non taxable transactions) X total input tax
           Total sales (including non-taxable transactions)

This amount has to be deducted from the total input tax to arrive at the deductible amount of

Input tax.

Note: - All input tax directly relating to sale of exempt goods is not available. All input tax directly relating to taxable sales may be deducted, subject to provisions of Section 11. Purchase of petroleum items/fuel items specified u/s 11(6) shall be subjected to special rebating u/s 14 and if used towards both taxable as well as exempted activity/stock transfers outside state, to partial rebating u/s 17 as well.

Below is illustration for better understanding of the concept

Let Total Sales be Rs.1,00,000/- of the total sales Local Sales Rs.40,000/-,Interstate Sales Rs.35,000/-, Export-Rs.15,000/- & Stock transfer –Out-Rs.10,000/-. Total Purchases- 30,000/- Input Credit -4350/-.

Points to be noted:

1. Rule 131- Apportionment of input tax in the case of a dealer falling under section 17 shall be calculated as follows

a) All input tax directly relating to sale of goods exempt under section 5 other than such goods sold in the course of export out of the territory of India, is non-deductible (Deemed Export).

b) All input tax directly relating to taxable sales may be deducted, subject to the provisions of section 11.

c) Any input tax relating to both sale of taxable goods and exempt goods, including inputs used for non-taxable transactions, that is, the non-identifiable input tax, may be deducted, based on above mention formula.

Total Sales Means total turnover less-

i)  the amount specified in clause (a) of sub-rule (1) of rule 3:

The above mentioned Rules states as below

The total amount paid or payable by the dealer as the consideration for the purchase of any of the goods in respect of which tax is leviable under sub-section (2) of Section 3.

ii)  The deductions specified in clause (e) of sub-rule (2) of rule 3.

The above mentioned Rules states as below

All amounts received from the seller in respect of goods returned to them by the dealer, when the goods are taxable under sub-section (2) of section 3

Provided that the goods are returned within period of six months from the date of delivery of the goods and the accounts show the date on which the goods were returned and the date on which the refund was made and the amount of such refund.

In Simple
Total Sales = Total Turnover – Tax paid on URD Purchases – Sale return related to URD Purchases
