How to Avail CENVAT credit and pass it on to our Customer

3053 views 5 replies

We are IT Infrastructure Service Provider based out of Mumbai.

We are into selling of IT products. While selling the products our customer wants the CENVAT benefit to be passed on to them. So please guide me what are procedures to be done to pass on CENVAT credit to the customer. Also let me know the procedure for Purchase and Sale of the same and the documents required while purchase and sale.

We purchase IT hardware products from our distributor (who in turn imports it). He is not ready to give us Excisable Invoice. So in that case what is the other alternative.
 
Correct me if i am wrong in understanding.
 
As we are the trader we can avail and pass out the CENVAT credit to our customers only if:
 
1. We purchase from the vendor who gives us Exciseable invoice.
2. Or we Import directly where in the Bill of entry should be in our name. Right
 
Documents Required
 
What are the documents required when we purchase and what are documents which are to be given to our customer while we prepare Sales Invoice.
 
Purchase Invoice
 
While Purhcase we get a Invoice of say eg Product is for Rs 100/- and  Duty paid is Rs 15/- so Total Landed cost will be Rs 115/-
 
Accounting Entries will be as follows right:
 
Purchase Account Dr Rs 100/-
CENVAT Dr Rs 15/-
Party Cr 115/-
 
Sales Invoice
 
While prearing Sales Invoice whether we need add Duty
 
For Eg. Product is for 110/- (our margin of Rs 10/-)
CENVAT Rs 15/-
VAT 4% Rs 5/-
So Total Rs 130/-  am I right or we should not include CENVAT of Rs 15/-
 
 
Accounting Entries will be as follows right:
 
Sales A/c Cr 110/- Rs
CENVAT A/c Cr 15/- Rs
VAT A/c Cr 5/- Rs
Customer Dr 130/- Rs
 
After preparing Sales Invoice whether we need to pay Rs 15/- to the Excise department?
 
Please clarify whether what I have understood is correct.

The first amount of 15 on the purchase is the amount tat you can avail. This amt can be adjusted against ( Utilised ) the amount of ED on sales made. This is the procedure.

 

Mr Bhavesh ... You are almost correct in entries ... I am just refreshing the whole thing.

Vendors point of view:

Your vendor has charged Rs 15 as excise duty.... So they have deposited it to department and claimed from you... So there effect of Excise duty is NIL.

Your (Middle man) point of view:

You have received Rs 130/- from your customer:  See the reconciliation below:

You gave excise duty to vendor for Rs 15 and received from your customer. Effect is NIL

You deposited VAT to department for Rs 5 and claimed from your customer. Effect is NIL

You have received Rs 10 from your customer as profit and Rs 100 from your customer as the value of product.

Your cusomer's point of view:

Documentation:

CENVAT on EXCISE: If you want to charge excise separately in your bill to your customer then you need to put the name of your customer in the excise documentaion and the tax invoice - 'orginal copy for buyer' need to be send to customer. Otherwise you cant bill your customer for the excise duty.. You can add the excise duty amount with your product cost and profit and you can bill to your customer.

To pass on the credit, you have to get yourself registered as dealer of excisable goods, called registered dealer. A registered dealer can buy goods from a manufacturer or a fisrt stage registered dealer. First stage registered dealer is one who buys goods from a manufacturer.

Once you are registered as dealer, you can sell the goods to your client and pass cenvat to your customer.

This value of goods will not be included in the service charges (if the bills are consolidated) for payment of service tax. You will be paying service tax on such reduced value, on which your customer can take credit.

Hi all...taking the example of Bhavesh...i have some queries...!

The margin shown in the above ex.[ Rs.10 ] is liable for Service Tax on not..!

If i am not wrong, there will be 2 Invoice's to make 1.For excise [modvat] purpose and 2.For Trading purpose [which will include margin of Rs.10/-]

I have seen high-seas transactions where the importer used to raise Debit Note for the margin money stating various reason like freight charges,godown charges etc...etc...charging service tax on it....

If service tax is not chargeable, is there any limit for margin/profit, uptill where there wont be any additional excise liablity on such profit money

Please clarify....! Thanks
