Form C
All the registered dealers will issue 'Form C' at the time of purchasing goods from another registered dealer. The issue of 'Form C' by the purchasing dealer will ensure that the goods being purchased are covered under his registration certificate and the CST can be charged at lower rates by selling dealer. The selling dealer, on the basis of this 'Form C', charges CST @ 2% or lower rate as applicable and submits the same to his assessing authorities as a proof or cause for lower collection of CST.
For example: Assume that the local sales tax rate is 4%. The sales made in the course of interstate trade, will attract levy of CST at the rates as applicable for local sales. But for any registered dealer on submission of declaration in 'Form C', the CST will be charged at 2% (4% or 2% whichever is lower). Otherwise dealer will be required to pay CST at local sales tax rates (@4%) if 'Form C' is not issued.
à The submission of Form C is mandatory and one Form can cover all transaction in each Quarter
à Separate Declaration of Form C required for each Quarter.
à Submission of Form C on quarterly basis to the Commercial Tax Authority is mandatory.
Form E1
Form E1 is used for making subsequent sales in the course of interstate sale/purchase by the first or original purchaser of goods. This Form should always be accompanied with 'Form C'. The Form E1 is used for first subsequent sales by transfer of document of title to goods.
Form E1 is issued by the selling dealer to the dealer who is making subsequent sales for claiming the exemption from payment of CST to the subsequent buyer. The first subsequent seller of goods receives 'Form E1' and submits it to the department to claim exemption from CST for any sale made to other interstate registered dealer.
Form E2
Form E2 is used for claiming the exemption from payment of CST. In case where the registered dealer purchases goods from one registered inter-state dealer and sells the same while in transit, to another registered inter-state dealer, the sales will be exempted from CST on submission of 'Form E2' to the department. The 'Form E2' is used to claim exemption from payment of CST to the seller who is a subsequent or last inter-state dealer of goods.
Form F
Form F is used for claiming exemptions on the interstate movement of goods as Stock/Branch Transfer, transfer to consignment agent or goods sent outside the state for job work also.
