Introduction
Let us discuss, what are India taxes and how they are differentiated.
Indian Tax Procedure
It is of two types.
1. Direct Tax
2. Indirect Tax
Direct Tax:
It consists of the capital tax and Personnel income tax.
Indirect Tax:
Indirect Tax constitutes Excise duties, Sales Taxes and Service Taxes.
Excise duties:
+ Excise Duty must be a duty on the goods;

2. a. The goods must be excisable;
b. The goods must be manufactured or produced;
c. The Manufacture or Production has to be within India;
+ Excise Duty is Mainly based on 4M's
a. It must be mentioned in Excise Laws
b. It must be movable
c. It must be manufactured
d. It is valuable to money
+ Excise duty is a duty on production or manufacture of goods. It is a tax
levied on manufacture of goods and the liability to pay excise duty arises
immediately on manufacture or production of goods.
+ Once manufacture of goods is complete, excise duty is payable, whether
the goods are sold or self-consumed. Excise duty does not depend on the
end use of the goods.
+ Excise duty is a tax on manufacture of goods but for the sake of
administrative convenience, it is collected only on removable of goods from
the factory.
Sales Tax:
Sales Tax is a tax on Sales and can be imposed only when there is a
sale.
Difference between Excise duty and Sales Tax.
Central Excise duty has to be distinguished from sales Tax. Sales Tax is a
tax on sales and can be imposed only when there is a sale. On the other
hand, Excise duty is a duty on the manufacture of the goods. So, duty can
be imposed immediately after goods are manufactured. Whether these
goods are sold are not is immaterial.
For Example: If a company manufactures soap within the factory for its own
use, there will be no sales tax on the soap. However, the soap will be liable
to pay excise duty as it has been manufactured.
Types of Excise Duties:

3. Under the Excise laws, the following are the various types of duties, which
are levied:
Basic Excise Duty: Excise duty that is levied at the time of the goods
removal, either it is for sales or for own consumption.
Additional Excise Duty: Excise duty that is levied to protect the local
industries. This is varies depending on the products.
Special Excise duties: Excise duty that is levied in order to control the
competition between the states, for example, one state may give more
subsidies in order to attract the investments or to encourage the industries
of that state.
Additional duty on specified items under the Act: If the tariff
Commission set up by law recommends that in order to protect the interests
of industry, the central government may levy additional duties at the rate
recommended on specified goods.
Different Sales Process
A. Sales from Factory
B. Stock Transfers
C. Sales from Depot
D. Scrap Sales
E. Auction sales especially for scrap
F. Job Works
G. Exports
A. Sales from Factory
In the process of Manufacturing the Factory uses two kinds of
materials.
Input Material:
Is defined as the one which loses its own identity in the finished
product.
Capital Goods:

4. Is defined as the one which does NOT lose its own identity in the
finished goods.
B. Stock Transfers
 In Stock Transfers we will transfer the materials from plant to plant
and plant to Stock yards.
 Usually in the stock transfers we create the excise invoice while the
goods is moving from plant to stock yard.
 From stockyard to customer usually we are not going to create the
Excise invoice, because stock which is coming into the stock is not an
input, it is just a transfer from one place to other.
 There is no price escalations here.
C. Depot Process(Sales from Depot)
For doing goods receipt:
Scenario 1: Stock Transfer
 Step 1: Do GR (Transaction code: MB01)
 Step 2: Excise Invoice Capture at Depot (Transaction code:
J1IG)
Scenario 2:
 Step 1: Do GR (Transaction code: MIGO)

5.  Step 2: Excise Invoice Capture at Depot (Transaction code:
J1IG)
At the time of sale:
=> Sales Order -> Delivery -> J1IJ (Always require a delivery
number) -> PGI -> Billing
D. Export Process
 In the process of Exports Duty under bond is not payable and the
goods move out from the factory against an ARE1.
 However, goods not under bond move out of the factory by paying the
duty and refund is separately claimed on showing proof of export i.e.,
Shipping bill.
 Incase of deemed Exports, the same procedure is followed as in
exports, however, the form used is ARE3.
What is CENVAT........!?
Commonly used word, whenever discussing on India Tax.
CENVAT: Amount that is paid on the value that is added at that time of
sale to the government.
For Example:

6. .....CENVAT......!?
WHEN AND HOW MUCH CREDIT CAN BE TAKEN
 The CENVAT credit in respect of inputs may be taken immediately on
receipt of the inputs.
 The CENVAT credit in respect of Capital goods received in a factory at
any point of time in a given financial year shall be taken only for an
amount not exceeding 50% of the duty paid on such capital goods in
the same financial year and the balance of CENVAT credit may be
taken in any subsequent financial year.
 The CENVAT credit shall be allowed even if any inputs or capital goods
as such or after being partially processed are sent to a job worker for
further processing, testing, repair etc. and it is established from the
records that the goods are received back in the factory within 180
days of their being sent to a job worker.
 Where any inputs are used in the final products which are cleared for
export, the CENVAT credit in respect of the inputs so used shall be
allowed to be utilized towards payment of duty on any final product
cleared for home consumption and where for any reason such
adjustment is not possible, the manufacture shall be allowed refund of
each amount.

 Formula based Tax Procedure TAXINJ
 Condition based Tax Procedure TAXINN
Currently from 4.7 we are using TAXINN.
Settings needed in SAP for TAXINN
First we need to maintain TAXINN procedure as shown in the slide.
 Menu Path: SPRO -> Logistics General -> Tax on Goods Movement ->
India -> Basic Settings -> Determination of Excise Duty -> Maintain
Excise Defaults.
 Then we need to assign the Tax procedure TAXINN to country India as
shown below.
 Menu Path: SPRO -> Logistics General -> Tax on Goods Movement ->
India -> Basic Settings -> Determination of Excise Duty -> Select Tax

10.  What is Excise Register and how many are they?
 How the Excise registers are using at Different Business Scenarios and
How these are updating?
Excise Register
Excise Laws require you to maintain a number of registers in a
specified format relating to a excise duty. They have to be printed out
monthly and shown to the authorities in the event of an audit. The SAP
captures this requirement.
Types of Registers:
 RG23A PART I
 RG23A PART II
 RG23C PART I
 RG23C PART II
 RG I
 RG23D
Excise Registers
 RG23A: Raw Material

11. The entries pertaining to quantity will go into RG 23 Part I and that of
duty will go into Part II in the appropriate duty column. i.e., Basic
Excise, SED, Additional Duty, etc
 RG23C: Capital Goods
RG23CI-Part I entry: Excise Stock entry at the time of GR(only
quantity)
RG23CII-Part II entry: Credit entry of capital goods(only value)
 RG-I: Finished Goods (only quantity)
The finished goods (manufactured, sub-contracted or gained) and
sales or stock transfer are entered in the RG I Register.
Register RG I is updated after creation of an excise invoice while
dispatching the goods from the factory premises with reference a
commercial invoice or a pro-forma invoice.
 RG23D: Depot (this indicates both the amount and the
quantity)
Factory Process - Registers
RG23 A - Part I & Part II
 Material is received in the factory as "for quality inspection" or "for
direct input".
 Material after "Quality Inspection" or when used as "Direct Input" will
go into the RG 23 A Registers.
 The entries pertaining to quantity will go into RG 23 Part I and that of
duty will go into Part II in the appropriate duty column. i.e. Basic
Excise, SED, Additional Duty, etc
Depot Process
 The RG 23 D register is used to update the excise entries in case of
Excisable Depots.
 The Excise duty is payable when the goods are sent from the factory.
However, it is not levied again when the goods are sent from the
DEPOT.

12.  However, while taking sale from the DEPOT and if price escalations
happen, then the extra excise is paid using a A certificate. These
details are entered in the RG23 D register and excise recovered from
the customer.
DEPOT Process
Transactions can happen through two scenarios:
 Scenario 1: Depot receives goods from the company's factory through
stock transfer.
 Scenario 2: Depot procures goods directly from external resources.
