10 December 2012 Mr D Natarajan,
A gift is not a sale. 'Sale' is defined in all VAT Acts as 'Transfer of property in goods for cash,defered payment or other valuble consideration'. Here gifts are the offers made without any coniderartion.Therefore it can not be included in sales value and no tax is to be charged on it.But,such offer of gifts should be on a policy declared in advance for promotion of products,clearance sale etc,by manufacturers or seasonal offerings on specific dates etc. Its genuineness is to be prooved......MJK
