Dear Members,

Kindly clarify a querry.

The Sales Tax Officer is of view that "C" form has to be received on Total Sales Value (i.e. net + tax amount), but our client has received a "C" form which is of Net Amount, is there any circular/ notification or some clarification that "C" form can be issued on Net Value.

Kindly sort out the same as soon as possible.

Regards

Vijay Budhwani

Can any one provide me details about any circular issued to effect that purchasing dealer should mention the amount inclusive of CST in C Forms? If there is any circular in this regard, that must be binding and there is no scope of argument. Otherwise, I don’t think that there should be any problem if the purchasing dealer is mentioning sales price (excluding CST) in the C form. Reason of my such opinion is that- the requirement of the act is that the said C form should only confirm the sale transactions. On the presumption that as the concessional tax of rate is available only on the sale price (net of CST), if some one is showing such values only in his C forms, I don’t think that there should be any problem. “C” form is issued to certify the particular transaction of sales only. Now, coming to the issue that such C form will not be accepted by the department, what will be the options with the department? Can they reject the C form and tax the whole sales at a higher rate? Can they say that the amount of difference, which is the amount of CST is a local sale?
