Taxes are not to be included in turnover. They are current liabilities to be remitted to the tax authorities.

Yes.                           

Assume that Whether Assesse is a Compostion Dealer under MVAT Act. so the Same amt should be Incorporate for Presumtive Taxation under Income Tax Act.

If sales tax and excise duty are included in the sale price, no adjustment in respect thereof should be made for considering the quantum of turnover.

If however, the excise duty or sales tax recovered are credited separately to Excise duty or sales tax a/c [being separate accounts] and payment to the authority are debited in the same account, they would not be included in the turnover.
