Excise Duty
All goods that are produced or manufactured in India shall be charged a duty of excise called
Cenvat at the rates specified in the Central Excise Tariff.
Every person who manufactures, produces, carries on trade, holds warehouses for excisable
goods shall have to obtain registration under the excise laws.
No excisable goods may be removed from the factory or a warehouse except under an
invoice signed by the owner of the factory or his authorised agent.
Every assessee has to submit to the superintendent of Central Excise a monthly return in the
specified form. For specified situations such as manufacture of goods exempt under a
notification, a prescribed declaration and/ or a financial statement needs to be filed.
Credit of service tax paid on input services, by a manufacturer of goods, is now available, in
addition to the credit that was available in respect of inputs/ capital goods.
CENVAT- Amount that is paid on the value that is added at the time of sale to the Govt.
1.3.1 Types of Excise Duties

Under the excise laws, the following are the various duties, which are levied:
Basic Excise Duty (BED) : Excise Duty that is levied at the time of goods removal, either it is
for sales or for own consumption(Except Salt)
Additional Excise Duty (AED) : On all excisable goods by Central Govt. to counter balance
sales tax exceptions by state Govt.
Education Cess (ECS) : Levied @ 2% on sum of all Excise Components.
Secondary & Higher Education Cess : Levied @ 1% on each of the Central Indirect Taxes.
It must be on the goods

Goods must be excisable
Goods must be manufactured or produced
Goods manufacture or production has to be in India only.
Excise Duties are mainly based on 4Ms
It must be Mentioned in Excise Laws.

It must be Movable.
It must be Manufactured.
It is valuable to Money.
Excise Duty is a duty on production or manufacture of goods. It is a tax levied on

manufacture of goods and the liability to pay excise duty arises immediately on manufacture
or production of goods.
TCS Confidential
11
Once manufacture of goods is complete, excise duty is payable, whether the goods are solld
or self-consumed. Excise duty does not depend on the use of the goods.
Excise Duty is a tax on manufacture of goods but for the sake of administrative convenience,
it is collected only on removal of goods from the factory.
In Process of Manufacturing the Factory uses two kinds of materials,

o
o
Input Materials- Is defined as the one which loses its own identity in the finished
product.
Capital Goods- Is defined as the which does NOT lose its own identity in the
finished goods.
Sales Tax
A sales tax is a consumption tax charged at the point of purchase for certain goods and
services. The tax is usually set as a percentage by the government charging the tax. There is usually
a list of exemptions. The tax can be included in the price (tax-inclusive) or added at the point of sale
(tax-exclusive).
Most sales taxes are collected by the seller, who pays the tax over to the government which
charges the tax. The economic burden of the tax usually falls on the purchaser, but in some
circumstances may fall on the seller. Sales taxes are commonly charged on sales of goods, but many
sales taxes are also charged on sales of services. In a highly idealized case, a sales tax would have a
high compliance rate, be difficult to avoid, and be simple to calculate and simple to collect.
Sales tax is a tax on sales and can be imposed only when there is a sale.
Difference between Excise Duty and Sales tax

Sales tax is a tax on sales and can be imposed only when there is a sale. On the other hand, Excise
duty is a duty on manufacture of goods. So, duty can be imposed immediately after goods are
manufactured. Whether these goods are sold are not is immaterial.
For example: if a company manufactures soaps within the factory for its own use, there will be no
sales tax on the soap. However, the soap will be liable to pay excise duty as it has been manufactured
in that factory.

Value Added Tax

VAT is the indirect tax on the consumption of the goods, paid by its original producers upon
the change in goods or upon the transfer of the goods to its ultimate consumers. It is based on the
value of the goods, added by the transferor. It is the tax in relation to the difference of the value added
by the transferor and not just a profit.
It means every seller of goods and service providers charges the tax after availing the input
tax credit. It is the form of collecting sales tax under which tax is collected in each stage on the value
added of the goods. In practice, the dealer charges the tax on the full price of the goods, sold to the
consumer and at every end of the tax period reduces the tax collected on sale and tax charged to him
by the dealers from whom he purchased the goods and deposits such amount of tax in government
treasury
Rate of Tax VAT proposes to impose two types of rate of tax mainly:
4% on declared goods or the goods commonly used.
10-12% on goods called Revenue Neutral Rates (RNR). There would be no fall in
such remaining goods.
Two special rates will be imposed-- 1% on silver or gold and 20% on liquor. Tax on
petrol, diesel or aviation turbine fuel are proposed to be kept out from the VAT system
as they would be continued to be taxed, as presently applicable by the CST Act.
Difference Between VAT And CST
Under the CST Act, the tax is collected at one stage of purchase or sale of goods.
Therefore, the burden of the full tax bond is borne by only one dealer, either the first
or the last dealer. However, under the VAT system, the tax burden would be shared
by all the dealers from first to last. Then, such tax would be passed upon the final
consumers.
Under the CST Act, the tax is levied at a single point. Under the VAT system, the
retailers are not subject to tax except for the retail tax.
Under the CST Act, general and specific exemptions are granted on certain goods
while VAT does not permit such exemptions. Under the CST law, concessional rates
TCS Confidential
13
are provided on certain taxes. The VAT regime will do away with such concessions as
it would provide the full credit on the tax that has been paid earlier.
Under VAT law, first, the dealer pays tax on the sale or purchase of goods. The
subsequent dealer pays tax on the portion of the value added upon such goods.
Thus, the tax burden is shared equally by the last dealer. To illustrate the whole
procedure of VAT,
For Example,
At the first point of sale, the value of goods is Rs.100. The tax on this is 12.5%. Therefore,
the net VAT would be 12.5%. At the second change of sale, the sale value is Rs.120 and the tax
thereon is 15%. The tax that is to be paid at every point is 15%. The input tax is 15%. You will get
a credit for first change in sale of 2.5%-- i.e. 15% -12.5%. Therefore, 2.5% will be the net rate. At
the third change of sale, the sale value is Rs.150 and the tax on this is 18.75%. At the last stage,
the tax paid is 18.75%. The Input Tax is 18.75%. You get a credit for second change in sale?i.e.
18.75% -15% = 3.75%. Therefore, 3.75% would be the net VAT. This means that VAT is paid in
the last point tax under the sale tax regime
Tax Collected At Source

Tax Collection at Source or TCS, as the name implies, means collection of tax at source
by the seller or collector, from the buyer of the goods. As prescribed under Income Tax Act 1961,
it is mandatory on the part of the buyer to pay a predetermined value of TCS to the seller, while
purchasing a particular commodity. TCS is generally set for business or trade in alcoholic liquor,
forest produce, scarp, etc. Various lease, license and contracts related to areas like parking lot,
mines and toll plaza also falls under the umbrella of TCS in India.
TCS is generally collected when amassed or when paid, whichever is earlier. The seller or
collector who collects the tax is required to deposit it in any of the designated branches of the
certified banks. Tax Collection at Source is implemented to curb tax evasion and also to facilitate
proper tax collection in India.

Service Tax
Service Tax is a form of indirect tax imposed on specified services called "taxable services".
Service tax cannot be levied on any service which is not included in the list of taxable services. Over
the past few years, service tax been expanded to cover new services. The objective behind levying
service tax is to reduce the degree of intensity of taxation on manufacturing and trade without forcing
the government to compromise on the revenue needs. The intention of the government is to gradually
increase the list of taxable services until most services fall within the scope of service tax. For the
purpose of levying service tax, the value of any taxable service should be the gross amount charged
by
the
service
provider
for
the
service
rendered
by
him.
Service Tax was first brought into force with effect from 1 July 1994. All service providers in
India, except those in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, are required to pay a Service Tax in India.
Initially only three services were brought under the net of service tax and the tax rate was 5%.
Gradually more services came under the ambit of Service Tax. The rate of tax was increased from 5%
to 8% w.e.f 14 May 2003. From 10 September 2004 the rate of Service Tax was enhanced to 10%
from 8%. Besides this 2% education cess on the amount of Service Tax was also introduced. In the
Union Budget of India for the year 2006-2007, service tax was increased from 10% to 12%. On
February 24, 2009 in order to give relief to the industry reeling under the impact of economic
recession, The rate of Service Tax was reduced from 12 per cent to 10 per cent.

quintuplicate (5 copies).
This is similar to the erstwhile AR.4.
This document shall bear running serial number beginning from the first day of the financial
year. During this year, for the sake of continuity, the serial number, as started from 1.4.2001,
may continue.
The stationary for AR.4 Form may be used with modified name "ARE.1" during this financial
year. On A.R.E.1, certain declarations are required to be given by the exporter. These should
be signed by the exporter or his authorised agent. The different copies of ARE.1 forms should
be of different colours indicated below:
Original
White
The said Superintendent or Inspector of Central

Excise shall return to the exporter immediately
after endorsements and signature

4.2.1.2Post ARE-1 Document :

When you have created an ARE-1 and the excise officer has confirmed that all the details are correct,
you can post the ARE-1.
You can still make any changes that you need to before you post it.
Result :
The system:
Assigns the ARE-1 an official ARE-1 number
Clears the excise duty from the bond's reservation amount and debits it to the bond
You can no longer change the ARE-1. However, you can still reverse it, if need be. Otherwise,
the next step is to update it.
4.2.1.3Update ARE-1 Document :

When the goods arrive at customs, the customs officer checks them against the excise invoice and
the ARE-1. If there are any discrepancies in the quantity of the goods, he records them on the ARE-1.
He also fills out Part B of the ARE-1 (Certification by the Customs Officer) and sends you three copies
of the ARE-1, one in a sealed envelope.
When you receive the ARE-1, you update the dates in the ARE-1 in the system to match what the
customs officer has written on the ARE-1.
Result :
The system credits the excise duty back to the running bond.
You must now send the ARE-1 to your local excise department.
4.2.1.4Close ARE-1 Document :

When the excise department sends you confirmation that the ARE-1 is correct, you record the date in

4.3.1
ARE3 for Deemed Export Sales
In the case of deemed exports where the customer is in india but is considered export on
account of regulation or since it indirectly leads to exports, ARE-3 is used. Scenarios include
exports to an exporter who uses it in his manufacture or trade, exports to a SEZ, 100% EOU
or to a project which is declared by Govt as deemed such as a Power project..
Customer will provide you a copy of its deemed export license and you have entered the
license in the system.
After recieving a sales order from the customer for goods covered by this license. In the R/3
System, you have already created the delivery and the outgoing excise invoice. In the excise
invoice, you have set the excise invoice type to Deemed Exports.
ARE3 Document will be in foreign currency

ARE3 requires Export Licence, which need to create in SAP
Process Flow :
The export clerk creates an ARE-3 and, when he is ready, posts it.
He also prints out the ARE-3 and encloses a copy with the delivery.
The shipping department sends the goods to the customer, together with the excise invoice
and the ARE-3.
When the customer's warehouseman receives the goods, he checks whether the excise
invoice and the ARE-3 match the goods.
If he finds that there are fewer goods than stated on the ARE-3, he enters the shortfall in the
ARE-3. He then fills out Part 2 of the ARE-3 (Certificate of Warehousing by the Consignee)
and sends it back to the excise clerk.
When the excise clerk receives the ARE-3, he updates the ARE-3 in the R/3 System.
He fills out the various certification dates in the ARE-3 (for example, the date when the ARE-3
arrived back at your company).
If the warehouseman noted a shortfall in the quantity of goods, the excise clerk enters the
shortfall as well. Since the whereabouts of the missing goods cannot be accounted for, they
no longer qualify for exemption from basic excise duty. You must therefore pay the excise
duty on the shortfall, plus interest, backdated to the date when you removed the goods from
your premises. The clerk specifies which excise registers to pay the excise duty from.
The process is now complete.

4.3.1.4Update ARE-3 :
When the goods arrive at the customers premises, the customer checks them against the excise
invoice and the ARE-3. If there are any shortfalls in the quantity of the goods he records them on the
ARE-3. The customer also fills out Part 2 of the ARE-3 (Certification of Warehousing by the
Consignee) and sends you a copy.
When you receive the ARE-3, you update the ARE-3 in the system to match what the customer has
written on the ARE-3.

Since this withholding tax is configured with Base amount as Modified net amount, the base for the
withholding tax will be the net amount (i.e., not inclusive of the tax condition values.) In case you wish
to add some tax condition values to the base for TCS calculation, you will need to maintain the
posting key assigned to the tax condition type in the pricing procedure along with the combination of
the withholding tax code assigned to the TCS related condition type at the following location:

4.4.7 Define Offsetting Account

Since posting will happen from SD as well as from FI with the TDS code, off-setting concept posting is
used for the TCS tax types. The GL accounts are assigned as below
Figure : Define Offsetting account for TCS
Same G/L account should be maintained for transaction key WIT based tax line item and the SD-FI
condition based tax line item. A different G/L account has to be maintained for the transaction key

4.4.8 Pricing procedure changes.

The condition types corresponding to TCS will have to be added to the pricing procedure as shown
below
Figure :1 Assign condition type to Pricing procedure

The condition types for TCS (JTCS, JTEC AND JTSE) are to be defined as statistical in the pricing
procedure. The system calculates the values in SD but doesnt post them directly from SD. Posting
would take place with the condition type assignment to TCS withholding tax types. (as configured
earlier in step 5)
TCS Confidential

4.4.9 Define Condition Type for FI postings

We will need to define a new condition type and add this to the pricing procedure to post to the FI.
This condition type will be manual and can be manually filled at the time of creation of sales order.
This can also be copied from the statistical TCS condition types in the pricing procedure.
For example, the screen shot below shows how to create the condition type corresponding to TCS
which would be posted to FI:

This condition type JWTS will have to be added to the pricing procedure. This is not maintained as
statistical and has a corresponding accounting key
