    25/134

    # VAT & CENVAT Cont.

    His cost of production including profit

    margin is 90/- kg.

    His basic selling price is ,therefore, Rs.200/

    kg ( Rs.110/-+ Rs.90/- ).Let us assume that

    ED on cotton cloth is 10%

    In case there is no CENVAT , A's final pricefor the customer will Rs.220/- kg ( Rs.200 +

    ED of 10% )

  • 7/31/2019 Glossary of Terms Used in the Budget & Economics for Bank PO

    26/134

    # VAT & CCENVAT Cont.

    In a CENVAT situation

    -- A is allowed to take credit for the exciseduty he has paid on his input of Rawcotton .In this case it is Rs.10/-

    The selling price can be reduced to Rs.190( Rs.200 minus credit of Rs.10/- paid as EDon raw cotton )

    His final price will be Rs.209/-( Basic Priceof Rs.190/- + ED of 10 % )

  • 7/31/2019 Glossary of Terms Used in the Budget & Economics for Bank PO

    27/134

    # Due to CENVAT,customer does notpay:

    The ED paid by A on his input of rawcotton, i.e., Rs.10/kg

    Nor the cascading effect of paying ED

    on ED.i.e10 %( ED on A's final product )on ED of Rs.10/- paid by A on his inputof raw cotton.

    However no legal binding on the sellerto pass on this benefit to the customer.
