19 October 2013 In case of Merchant Export, the submission of these documents shall suffice the requirement.
Declaration in Form 'H' from Merchant Exporter, Shipping Bill/Bill of Lading, Export Bill of Entry. (Value can be concealed by your client while issuing a copy)

The PO from the foreign buyer is an exclusive contract between him and the client and not a general document. The Sales Tax Officer only needs to verify that the export took place which is evident from the documents submitted above.

Section 5(4) mandates only submission of Form 'H' as a proof.

If the car was treated as a Business asset then Sales tax would be attracted.
Levy of sales tax is on sale of goods. Motored Vehicles are goods and hence sales tax is attracted. There is no connection between rebate and levy
