Hi all,

Could anyone explain a simple example of a sale and where excise duty is charged. I want to know whether it should be included in Cost or not. Also I have seen in some Annual reports of companies in P&L that Sales Rs 100 - Excise Duty 10 = Rs 90 as Net sales.

Could someone explain what that means. I am really confused with that.
