Rounding off - Excise duty, Cess 1%, 2% and VAT

Rounding off is the method to absorb the fraction figures appearing on bank / tax documents for banking / departmental ease.

against any liability of excise duty, edu cess, secondary and higher secondary edu cess,  ( of assessable value)

10% + 2% of 10% or 0.02% + 1% of 10% or 0.01%

we do calculate total liability of the month or period for payment and then round off the same in nearest rupee .......for ease of accounting.

I agree with mr sharma.  Instead of rounding off in all the central excise invoices, we can round off at the time of remitting the duty, cess or hr edu cess like VAT remittance.  Above 50 paise can be rounded off to one rupee.

This is acceptable

Thanks Mr Sharma & Rengaraj -

Does the ED, Cess & VAT should match with the supplier invoice when I create the liability in my payables system.

BTW - Pls provide the reference if any.

at the time of sales, such duties and taxes are "paid" from asset account of Excise and VAT, and end of month the shortfall is remitted by cash or by epayment.

AGREE WITH mr. sharma
