C. NO.3(28)STP/2000 DATED 31 ST AUGUST, 2000
SUBJECT:-
EVASION OF SALES TAX AND CENTRAL EXCISE DUTY BY
BEVERAGE MANUFACTURERS
I am directed to enclose a copy of Collector of Sales Tax & Central Excise,
Karachi (West) letter C. No.1(6)-Collector/STW/CBR/2000, dated 10.05.2000 and to
state that while examining the proposal of the Collector regarding change in the
definition of ―retail price‖ under section 2(27), Member (Sales Tax) has been pleased to
observe as under:-
(v)
(vi)
(vii)
(viii)
What is the definition of ―retail price‖ in Central Excise laws and how it has
been interpreted/enforced over the year?
If Collector‘s proposal is accepted, how would the ―manufacturer‖ collect
(and then pay) sales tax on the actual retail price to be charged by retailers
from the consumers?
How would the retail tax operate at the level of retailer if the sales tax has
already been charged and paid at the actual retail price at the time of supply
by the manufacturer to his distributor?
Is the difference between the prices form the time of supply by the
manufacturer to the distributor and then by retailer to the consumer not to be
accounted for as value addition separately at the levels of distributor and
retailers?
2. In case of input tax adjustment on empty bottles, DRRA Lahore and
Karachi had raised certain objections in different Collectorates. The issue needs to be
evaluated in the light of these objections and the final outcome.
