I want to ask a question, if we have purchase raw materials for manufacturing medicine from Ahmedabad, they have charged CST @ 2% on basic value of invoice plus some handling charges its right or wrong. please guide me.(details of invoice is below:
Basic Value Rs.135000 Handling chg.Rs. 3500 Toal Value Rs.138500 CST @ 2% Rs. 2770 Total Value Rs. 141270
14 July 2010
Kindly refer section 2(h) of the CST ACT which says sales price is the amount payble to a dealer as consideration for the sale of goods,......inclusive of any SUM CHARGED FOR ANY THING DONE....INRESPECT OF THE GOODS at the time or before the delivery thereof
Hence in my opinion the delaer has done right in including the handling charges in the sales price
