Sales Tax Instructions

Sales Tax Instructions, 2009
2. The question has been examined in the Board and it is held that the
Special Procedure for Jeweller‘s Rules 2001 is a special/concessional package for the
jewellers who are required to pay sales tax only on the value addition with a minimum
threshold of 10% value added. Under these rules, a simplified format of sales tax invoices
has been prescribed so as to facilitate the jeweller‘s sector. The invoices issued by the
registered jewellers in the prescribed format are not and cannot be treated as invoices of
section 23 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990. It is, therefore, clarified that the invoices issued by
the registered jewellers cannot be used either for input tax adjustment or for claiming
refund of sales tax at any subsequent stage.
