This office had issued above referred Trade Circulars explaining scope of section 6A of CST Act, 1956. In the Trade Circular dated 20th February 2007, a view had been taken that section 6A of CST Act, 1956 deals only with transactions between principal and agent and that it applies in those cases where the movement of goods is to the place of business of the dealer himself in another state or to his agent or his principal in another state. It was viewed that section 6A does not deal with transactions which are on a principal to principal basis.
India Inc on Tuesday asked Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to introduce Goods and Services Tax “as early as possible”, amid speculations that the indirect tax reform may not be implemented from the scheduled date of April 1. “We want that the GST deadline should not be missed,” Ficci president Harsh Pati Singhania told reporters after a pre-budget meeting with Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee along with other industrialists here on Tuesday.
In order to attain uniformity in procedures, the departmental officers have been instructed to issue Tax Clearance Certificate under the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, 2002 in the prescribed format. Further, format of the Profession Tax Clearance Certificate has also been prescribed.
In view of this situation, it is necessary that the procedure for the issuing of such certificates should be standardized. Such certificates are very often required to be produced before various government authorities, local bodies or other bodies etc. for the purpose of tender renewal of licenses etc.
If something is not taxable at all, can one exempt it? Obviously not. If one does it, it is conceptually meaningless and even absurd. Taking an excise example, it is like saying that free air is exempt. If free air is not taxable, it cannot be exempted by the government. Precisely this type of conceptual error is visible in the exemption list suggested in the Report of the Task Force of the 13th Finance Commission .
Two major tax reforms due by next year promise to reduce transaction costs for exporters significantly. A simpler income-tax regime will put more money in the hands of businesses, which can invest these as they consider best. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime will reduce complications and lower the compliance costs. Together, they will help Indian businesses get more competitive.
In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (5) of section 10 of the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, 2002 (Mah. IX of 2005), the Commissioner of Sales Tax, Maharashtra State, Mumbai, hereby amends the notification No. Sr. D. C. (A & R)/PWR/1006/2/Adm-3, dated 6th October 2007 as follows, namely:—
Activity Codes are numerical codes that are used to define the activities of an economic unit. These codes are developed by National Industrial Classification (NIC) 2008. It is a standardized system of classification of economic activities essential for meaningful collection of data relating to such activities. This classification does not draw the distinction according to the kind of ownership, type of legal organization, type of technology and scale or mode of operation. It only classifies the economic activities under taken by economic units.
Levy of sales tax on a higher percentage on ‘superior kerosene oil’ (SKO) (also called white kerosene oil) and also levy of resale tax and surcharge on it by Tamil Nadu Government have been upheld by the Madras High Court. The attack by dealers that levy of different rates for same commodity was discriminatory was turned down by the Court which ruled that such allegation of discrimination would “amount to questioning legislative policy of the State to tax a particular commodity”.
The sub-rule (1) provides the different forms of returns to be filed by various categories of dealers. Earlier, the dealers. used to submit these forms of return-cum-chalan physically either to the Bank alongwith payment of tax, interest etc., if any or to the Sales Tax Department where tax liability was NIL. These forms of the return were return-cum-chalan.
