01 November 2010 But, purchases and sales both are exclusive of excise duty. They are just pass on the duty which is paid on purchases and if balance then shown under assets side. so how it can be included in closing stock?

01 November 2010 One is required to provide for the liability of duties at the time of valuation since the duties & taxes payable on the stock in hand is the charge on stock.

The duty liability so provided on closing stock is knocked off against duty liability on opening stock and indirectly nullifies the difference in the rate of charging the duty at two different point of time.
