Excise on Sample trail

Dear Expert,

We procured an item and directly supply it to third party lab for testing. after testing a product will be manufactured and it will be supplied us back. we will then distribute it into the market as free sample. Here, while purchasing supplier has charged excise duty on invoice. My question is whether excise duty is applicable on a) supplying goods to third party lab. b) distributing as free sample. c) set off eligibility.

Important is that invoice is done at our Head office address as buyer and third party lab as consignee.

seeking your export comment in this regard,

regards,

ganeshan

Sir,

The free sample when cleared outside the factory is liable to excise duty unless they are exempted from payment of duty by way of an exemption Notification issued under Section 5 A of Central Excise Act, 1944. After testing if the sample is returned in full then you can take the credit of duty paid on the sample under Rule 16 of Central Excise Rules, 2002. If the sample gets destroyed during the test then the question returning the sample does not arise.

Dear Ganeshan,

Excise Duty on removal of samples (FOC) is payable. However, no VAT/CST will be payable but proportionate Input Tax Credit will be burnt out.
