C.No.3(9)STP/99 DATED 9 TH FEBRUARY, 2001
SUBJECT:-
1.5% FURTHER TAX ON SALE OF VEHICLES BY LOCAL
MANUFACTURERS TO LEASING COMPANIES.
An issue has arisen whether vehicles sold by local automobile manufacturers to
leasing companies attract 1.5% further tax under section 3(1A) of the Sales Tax Act,
1990?
2. The matter has been considered and it is clarified that no sales tax is
leviable on ‗financial leases‘ as is evident from the definition of ―supply‖ under section
2(33) of the Sales Tax Act, 1990. It is however, being examined whether, in order to
implement the underlying spirit of this policy, there is any need for issue of a specific
notification or to make amendment in law.
3. In the meanwhile, Collectors are advised not to demand 1.5% further tax
on such transactions between automobile manufacturers and leasing companies nor ask
the leasing companies for registration under Sales Tax Act, 1990 on the plea and they are
engaged in making supplies of taxable goods.
