Value per unit is calculated on Gross or Net?

If per unit is on Gross then take Gross otherwise Net.

As per section 15 valuation should be on Gross weight.

Becuase :
when you have purchase the box , the input has been claim for the same .

Moreover sweet vendor includes all such expense ie packing material into cost of sweets

i think as per packaging act of food weight should not be less then mention. but in food moisture its weight down so they are pack some more..so..

and if they bill net weight and e way bill of gross then how they can explain?

many difficulty in some goods.

so we practically suggest net weight

Yes Mr Rahul You correct but iam stating that the vendor will also charge the packing + sweet as per rule of composit supply

That's the separate issue that vendor is charging for 1kg but giving only 800 gms to customer .

In my view and experience in bakery field,
generally all items weight calculated on net weight not on gross weight.
As per query, 200gms packing material weight cost will be add to the items cost.

We sent Flexible plastic Material to a party Qty:- 2000 Kgs(Net Weight), But Gross weight 2150 Kgs. due to some Packing materials. Difference Gross-Net = 150 kgs. We raised Tax invoice on 2000 Kgs x 160/- per kgs=Rs.3,20,000/- i.e Assl. Value. and duty 18% is 57,600/- that is ok. Duty officer telling we have to raise bill on 2150Kgs. that means on 150 kgs we have to pay duty 150kgsX 160/- per kg rate= 24000/- and duty 18%= 4320/-extra to be paid. Which is correct ? On Net Weight duty to be paid or Duty to be paid on Gross Weight ? By which Rule ?

Net weight is correct, gross weight mentioned only in E-way Bill . On value i.e per kg rate other incidental expenses incl. packing charge is pro rata basis is loaded as per valuation rule 15 , Valuation is calculated including packing charge also.

So, if we make duty calculation on Gross weight , then duty will be given two times. 1) Per kg rate is calculated incl of all expenses . 2) If we pay duty on Gross weight then double duty will be imposed.
