Declarations in E-I and E-II form - As per section 6(2) of CST Act, first Inter State sale is taxable. Subsequent sale during movement of goods by transfer of documents is exempt from tax, if the subsequent sale is to Government or a registered dealer. This is subject to condition that such subsequent seller obtains declaration (a) from the selling dealer i.e. from registered dealer from whom goods were purchased. (b) from purchaser a declaration in C form or declaration in D form. The selling dealer has to make declaration in E-I form if it is a first sale and in E-II form if it is a subsequent sale. One example will clarify the requirements. Assume that W despatches goods from Karnataka to Orissa and raises invoice on X in Madhya Pradesh, W charges 4% CST and pays the same in Karnataka. During movement of goods, X sells goods to Y in West Bengal and Y ultimately sells goods to Z in Orissa. Z takes delivery of goods and the ‘movement of goods’ comes to end. Sale from X to Y and Y to Z is by transfer of documents. In this case, W will receive declaration in ‘C’ form from X and will issue declaration in ‘E-I’ form to X. Later, X will issue declaration in ‘E-II’ form to Y and receive declaration in C form from Y. Finally, Y will issue declaration in E-II form to Z and will receive declaration in ‘C’ form from Z, which will complete the chain. If the chain is broken, CST will be payable again.
Some provisions of C form applicable to E-I/E-II forms - Following provisions of C form are also applicable in respect of E-I/E-II form (a) One declaration for all transactions in one year (b) Separate declaration for each financial year (c) Indemnity bond if form is lost (d) Issue of duplicate form (e) Submission at any time before assessment (f) Like C form, the E-I/E-II forms are mandatory and sales tax concession is not available if the required form is not submitted.
Declaration in F Form - We have seen that when the goods are despatched to another State on consignment basis or to branch of dealer in another State, there is Inter State movement of goods but there is no sale and hence no CST is payable. This provision is often misused and goods are despatched in the garb of consignment or branch transfer though actually it may be a sale. Hence, section 6A(1) of CST Act provides that when a dealer claims that the Inter State movement of goods is not a sale, he has to prove the same. (In legal terminology, it is called that ‘burden of proof’ is on the dealer). For this purpose, he must produce a declaration in ‘F’ form received from Consignment Agent or Branch Office in another State.
As per section 6A(1) as amended w.e.f. 11-5-2002, submission of F form is mandatory to prove stock transfer. Otherwise, the transaction will be treated as ‘sale’ for all purposes of CST Act.
Goods can be sent to other State for further manufacture - Goods can be purchased at concessional rate if the goods are for use in the manufacture. Thus, after manufacture, the sale need not be in the same State. In Indian Aluminium Co. Ltd. v. STO - (1993) 90 STC 410 (Ori HC DB), the company was manufacturing Aluminium Ingots at Hirakud, Orissa. These were despatched to plants of the company in other States for further manufacture of Aluminium coils, sheets etc. Plants in other States were sending ‘F’ forms. The department accepted the forms without any objection.
One form F covering receipts during the month can be issued. If space in form F is not adequate, a separate list may be attached as annexure to form F giving details, provided that the annexure is firmly attached to the form. The blank form has to be obtained from sales tax authority in which the transferee is situated, i.e. State where goods were received. If the form is lost, indemnity bond has to be given and duplicate form clearly marked as ‘Duplicate’ can be issued.
Certificate in form H - Sale during course of export is exempt from CST. As per section 5(3) of CST Act, penultimate sale is also deemed to be in course of export and is exempt from CST. Dealer actually exporting the goods has proof of export like customs documents, bank certificate, airway bill/bill of lading, shipping bill etc. However, the penultimate seller does not have any direct evidence to prove that his sale is exempt from tax. In such cases, the actual exporter has to issue a certificate to the penultimate seller in form H. The blank ‘H’ forms are to be obtained from sales tax authority by the final exporter.
