Benefit of CST

[pravinchandra salian]

Goods received by an EOU under the sale in transit transaction, the benefit of CST paid can be claimed as refund. If yes under which Section of the CST ACT.

Dear Mr.Salian, i hope you are receiving goods by sale in transit route under Section 6(2) (b) of the CST Act, if so, then there will not be any CST, since E1 sales is exempt from tax.

Dear Venkatesh. Thanks for your immediate response. That is true that E1 sales is exempt from tax. But i want to know whether the CST paid by the manufacturer of goods can be claimed as refund.

Dear Mr.Salian. Exemption is available for sale of goods to Special Economic zones only and not for EOU's. Kindly refer sub sectionn 6 of Section 8 of CST Act,1956 Thanks venkatesh

AI Summary

CST exemption on sales to SEZs affects whether manufacturers can claim refund of CST paid on sale in transit supplies.
Whether a manufacturer who pays central sales tax on goods sent under a sale-in-transit route to an EOU or similar duty-free unit can claim refund of that CST depends on whether the supply qualifies for the statutory exemption. Replies in the thread distinguish supplies to Special Economic Zones-which are identified as enjoying CST exemption under the cited provisions-from supplies to EOUs, and indicate that exemption under Section 6(2)(b) and the subsection of Section 8 determine whether CST is leviable and hence whether refund or input recovery arises.
