Insertion of capital goods in Input definition, Central Excise

[arbs sarma]

Sirs,

In the recent budget input definition under CCR, 2004 was amended and a new clause (v) is inserted in rule 2(k) i.e., input means all capital goods having value upto 10000 rupees per piece.

query:

CG having value upto 10000 per piece means is it the assessable value or the invoice value (i.e., value including all taxes)

Invoice value.

Sir,

With due respects to the views of Shri Kasturi Sethi Sir, my view is that vlaue of ₹ 10000 per piece means the transaction value excluding all tases payable /paid on the CG.

[Rajagopalan Ranganathan]

sir, In my reply dated 20.4.2016 please read tases as taxes. The error is regretted.

[KASTURI SETHI]

Sir,

There is neither the word, 'Transaction' nor the word, 'price' in the notification issued. However, I can assume that Sh. Ranganathan, Sir, may be right.

[MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN]

I endorse the views of Shri Rajagopalan.

Dear Friend ,

In my view it is the Assessable value/Transaction value of the piece and not the invoice value.

The word indicated in the Rule is "Value" and not the cost to consider invoice value.

Thank you sirs for expressing your views.

Sir I would like learn what is the difference between 'Value' and 'Cost' ?

[surya narayana]

Dear Kalyan Ji

In general parlance, the value represents the assessable / transaction value for the purpose of payment of duty and the cost represents the total amount paid to a particular material which includes, duties, other taxes and freight and other handling charges . This differentiation is generally considered while inventorizing the material in the books of accounts.
