Sales Tax Instructions

Sales Tax Instructions, 2009
the procedure laid down in the Sales Tax (Electric Power) Rules, 2000. The common
methods used are:-
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
input is adjusted in the return filed immediately after the bill is issued,
even before the bill is paid; e.g. amount of sales tax mentioned in the bill
for September 1999 issued on 5 th October 1999 payable by 20 th October
1999 was claimed in the return for September 1999 filed on 15 th October
1999. According to law, it should have been claimed in the return for
October 1999 filed by 15 th November 1999;
input adjustment is taken even before the bill was issued/received, on the
estimated amount, on the basis of meter reading or previous months bills;
the bill does not contain the name and registration number of the
registered person, but in some cases, the registration number was entered
by hand, which amounts to tampering/forgery;
input adjustment is also taken on the electricity used in non-taxable
activities, i.e. administrative offices, labour colony, etc.;
in case of generation of electricity by a separately registered captive
power unit, input is adjusted on internal ‗debit notes‘ instead of proper
sales tax invoices/electricity bills.
2. Collectors are requested to please check the aforementioned aspects
during audits and processing of refund claims. Snap audit of cement units may be
conducted to check the aforementioned information, and a report may be furnished to the
Board by 15 th June, 2001.
