 Penultimate sale in the course of exports to an exporter also exempt from CST. The conditions to be

Liability to tax on inter-State sales (Sec 6)

 A dealer shall be liable to pay tax under this Act on a sale of any goods
effected by him, in the course of inter-State trade or commerce
notwithstanding that no tax would have been leviable (whether on
the seller or the purchaser) under the sales tax law of the appropriate
State if that sale had taken place inside that State

PwC Slide 11
Transfer of goods otherwise than by way of
sale( Sec 6-A)
Where any dealer claims that he is not liable to pay tax under this Act, in respect of any goods, on the ground that the

movement of such goods from one State to another was occasioned by reason of transfer of such goods by him to
any other place of his business or to his agent or principal, as the case may be and not by reason of sale, the burden
of proving that the movement of those goods was so occasioned shall be on that dealer and for this purpose he may
furnish to the assessing authority, within the prescribed time or within such further time as that authority may, for
sufficient cause, permit, a declaration, duly filled and signed by the principal officer of the other place of business,
or his agent or principal, as the case may be, containing the prescribed particulars in the prescribed form obtained
from the prescribed authority, along with the evidence of dispatch of such goods 26 [and if the dealer fails to furnish
such declaration, then, the movement of such goods shall be deemed for all purposes of this Act to have been

Registration (Sec 7)
Compulsory Voluntary

Every dealer liable to pay Central Sales Tax has to register himself with sales tax

authority.
Registration under CST is required only when inter-state sale is

a.To Government OR
b.To Registered dealer
There is no Compulsory Registration required if interstate sale is to unregistered dealer

or to a registered dealer in respect of goods for which he is not registered.


A dealer may voluntarily apply for registration under CST Act so as to avail the

concessional tax rates on inter state trades.


PwC Slide 15
Rates of tax, State specific exemptions (Sec 8)


The Rate of tax on interstate trade or commerce against the declaration forms is at the
rate of 2 %(declared goods 5%)

the appropriate State under the sales tax law of that State

All goods purchased by Registered Dealer are not eligible for concessional rate. He is
eligible to get concessional rate only for those goods which are contained in his
Registration Certificate.

PwC Slide 16
Determination of Turnover (Sec 8-A)

In determining turnover,decuctionof sales tax should be made from the aggregate of sale

price. The total of ‘sale price’ of all Inter State sales effected during the prescribed
period i.e monthly , quarterly as the case may be, less the Central Sales Tax payable is
the ‘Taxable Turnover’ of dealer for that period
i.e if aggregate of sale price is ‘S’ and the rate of tax is ‘R’ , then turnover and tax payable

will be calculated as follows:


Turnover= 100*S/100*R

Taxpayable= S*R/100+R

PwC Slide 17

movement of goods commenced.
As per Sec 9(2-b) if the tax payable by any dealer under CST Act is not paid in time, the
dealer shall be liable to pay interest for delayed payment.
