FMCG consignment agent seeks clarity on sales tax for unsold stock; tax liability linked to goods movement and Form F. A consignment agent for an FMCG company inquires about sales tax responsibility for unsold or uninvoiced stock. The agent receives stock transfers from a parent company and sends them to branches, which pay the parent company directly. The parent company handles tax payments. One respondent clarifies that no sales tax is due on unsold stock. Another suggests considering the concept of preconceived sales, which is dismissed by another respondent due to the internal nature of the transactions. It is emphasized that tax liabilities arise from the movement of goods and require statutory Form F for tax rebate claims. (AI Summary)
