Sales Tax calculation

7086 views 11 replies

We do job work for many of our clients where we charge service tax as well as CST or Vat. The problem we now face is, we calculate sales tax on the net amount ie. invoice value plus the service tax for which few of our clients are objecting. Their argument is  the sales tax is applicable only on the invoice value. so we kindly request  you could lead us to any section/subsection in sales tax manual so that we could deal with our clients

your clients are absolutely right sale price can include excise but service tax is not to be added to sales price while calculating VAT/CST amount.

CST or VAT Including SERVICE TAX?

As per service tax act  "taxable service amount" not inclued any tax or cess.  If  works contract is divisable  as material and labour  and evidenced by supporting document, we may  calculate service tax only labour amount.

In TN VAT act  section 2(41) "turnover"  some amount are excluded are noted in explanation and Rule 8  .   As per explanation IV  if tax is not inclued in taxable turnover if separately charged in invoice.   Here my view is tax mean VAT tax only.

In the case of divisable contract, we may calculate st on labour amount  and vat on  material sales.  

In the case of indivisable contract,  we first calculate st on contract amount and calculate vat amount for contract amount including service tax.

 

Sir,


I have today met the CTO of our assessment circle. According to when our material is used in the process we will have to pay CST. If we can prove the actual cost of the material, then we can pay CST on the cost of it. If not, we will have to pay CST on the full cost of the invoice excluding the service tax part. But they did not give any written documents.


what to do?

Dear neraj,

I am recolletcing that there was a notification that if you manufacturing then service tax is not applicale.( you are not in this category since no manufacturer)

Basically you are providing work contract in which you are using  material.in these case you may bifurcate your turnover- 33% for vat and rest for service tax.

thre is  specific provision in each vat act. you can refer and arrived at the solution.
