Hyderabad-based company considers discounted invoicing; warnings issued on compliance with VAT/CST preannounced discount schemes. A consignment agent for a Hyderabad-based company inquires about issuing invoices at a discounted rate. The company transfers stock valued at 36, but now wants to offer a 6 discount, asking the agent to raise invoices for 30. One response suggests this is permissible, noting the agent's location is considered a unit of the principal company and sales tax applies to the sale value. Another response warns of potential complications, highlighting that discounts must align with preannounced schemes under VAT/CST laws, and discrepancies in returns could prompt inquiries from tax authorities.
