14 Working with Cenvat Credit in India

This chapter contains the following topics:

14.1 Understanding Cenvat Credit

The credit that can be claimed by a manufacturer, producer of final products, or a provider of taxable services is called Cenvat credit. Cenvat credit can be applied against both excise and service taxes for these types of items:

  • Excise duty on a final product (for manufacturers or producers of final products only)

  • Inputs and capital goods, if they are removed or are being partially processed

    For these item types, you can apply the amount equal to the Cenvat credit to the tax payment

  • Service tax on any output services (for providers of taxable and exempted services only)

    For this item type, you can apply Cenvat credit if you maintain separate accounts for the receipt, consumption, and inventory for the taxable service, and nontaxable services. If separate accounts are not maintained, only 20 percent of the credit can be applied for payment of service tax.

You use the Credit Redistribution process after you run both the purchase order and sales order cycles. The Credit Distribution program (P75I012) and the Credit Distribution - Services program (P75I013) pass the amount and the account details to create a pair of credit and debit entries in the Account Ledger table (F0911) for the amounts being redistributed. The system generates and displays a batch number when the F0911 table entries are made.


Important:

You generate general ledger entries for the taxes in the F0911 table only after you run the Sales Update program.

14.1.1 Cenvat Credit on Common Inputs

You might use common inputs in the manufacture of excisable goods as well as in the manufacture of nonexcisable goods. In some cases, you might not be able to track the issue of the common inputs based on its end use. In such circumstances, you can claim Cenvat credit on the entire consignment and can issue such inputs for the manufacture of nonexcisable goods. To claim Cenvat credit on the entire consignment, you must calculate the excise duty liability at 10 percent of the value of the goods, excluding sales tax.

To claim Cenvat credit:

  1. Verify that the credit claimed during the procurement process are not off set.

  2. Define a price adjustment so that the system calculates 10 percent on the value of the item excluding sales tax.

    The system uses the price adjustment when you sell or transfer the goods.

14.2 Assigning Percentage of Cenvat Credit

This section provides an overview of the assignment of the percentage of Cenvat credit, and discusses how to assign the percentage of Cenvat credit to an item type.

14.2.1 Understanding the Assignment of the Percentage of Cenvat Credit

You use the Credit Distribution Percentage program (P75I011) to assign the percentage of Cenvat credit to an item type, such as CAP (capital goods) or INP (input). You can also use this program to:

  • Identify ways in which to recover amounts for a tax type.

  • Identify ways in which to recover the partial percentage of the Cenvat credit.

  • Move the credits for an item type from one tax type to another.

14.3 Offsetting Cenvat Credit and Calculating Duty Liability

This section provides overviews of VAT and Cenvat credit offset on raw materials, calculation of duty liability on manufactured goods, and calculation of duty liability on personal consumption of manufactured goods, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for Personal Consumption (P75I309).

  • Review the offset Cenvat and Cenvat credits amounts.

  • Calculate duty liability for goods consumed.

14.3.1 Understanding VAT and Cenvat Credit Offset on Raw Materials

You use the Item used For Personal Consumption program (P75I309) to offset the Cenvat credit claimed during the procurement of raw materials in these scenarios:

  • Personal consumption of raw materials

    You must offset the Cenvat credit for raw materials that the manufacturer consumes internally.

  • Nonsubmission of documentary evidence

    You must submit a document to claim the Cenvat credit, which identifies the excise duty liability incurred by the shipping organization. You must delete the records for which you have no documents before you process the Cenvat claim.

  • Manufacture of exempted goods

    You cannot claim the Cenvat credit for manufacturing nonexcisable goods from excisable inputs.

14.3.2 Understanding Calculation of Duty Liability on Manufactured Goods

You use the Item used For Personal Consumption program (P75I309) to calculate the duty liability on manufactured goods for these scenarios:

  • Personal consumption of manufactured goods

    You must pay duty on goods that you manufacture and that you consume internally.

  • Manufacture of exempted goods and input credit claimed

    You can claim the Cenvat credit on an entire consignment when you use common inputs to manufacture both excisable and nonexcisable goods. When you claim Cenvat credit in this situation, you must determine the excise duty liability at the applicable percentage on the value of the goods excluding the sales tax.

14.3.3 Understanding Calculation of Duty Liability for Personal Consumption of Manufactured Goods

You must account for personal consumption of manufactured goods to calculate the duty credit offset. To generate stock transfers to account for the goods:

  • Define a branch/plant for personal consumption.

  • Use the Item used For Personal Consumption program (P75I309) to process a stock transfer from the manufacturing branch/plant to the personal consumption branch/plant.

    Set the processing option to indicate manufactured items. There is no actual movement of goods.

  • Process an inventory issue from the personal consumption branch/plant in the amount of the consumed goods to reduce the available quantity in the branch/plant.

14.3.4 Prerequisites

Before you complete the tasks in this section:

  1. Define a separate branch/plant for personal consumption.

  2. Create a request for a stock transfer from the manufacturing branch/plant to the personal consumption branch/plant.

  3. Perform an inventory issue from the personal consumption branch/plant.

  4. Set the value of the processing option Consumption Mode to 0 to review existing records for purchase order receipts.

14.4 Generating the Entry Books of Duty Credits for Inputs and Capital Reports

This section provides an overview of the Entry Books of Duty Credits for Inputs and Capital reports, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

  • Run the Entry Book of Duty Credit on Inputs report.

  • Set processing options for Entry Book of Duty Credit on Inputs (R75I313S).

  • Run the Entry Book of Duty Credit on Capitals report.

  • Set processing options for Entry Book of Duty Credit on Capitals (R75I317S).

14.4.1 Understanding the Entry Books of Duty Credits for Inputs and Capital Reports

Run the Entry Book of Duty Credit on Inputs program to print the CENVAT details for input goods. This report includes information about CENVAT credits against raw material receipts, debits taken from excise duty payments, and other transactions taken from RG23A-II account.

The Entry Books of Duty Credits for Inputs report reads data from these tables:

  • Excise - RG23A - II Chapter Wise Transaction File (F75I313Y)

  • Excise - MODVAT/PLA Summary File - YARN SPECIFIC (F75I310Y)

  • Customer and Supplier master with VAT Reg No. (F75I210)

  • Excise - RG23A - II Item Wise Transaction File (F75I314Y)

  • F75I310Y - Tag File (F75I311)

(This pertains to Release 9.1 Update) The Entry Book of Duty Credit on Inputs program prints opening balances, closing balances, credit and debit details of excise taxes of input items for an excise unit by month. It prints CVD, CVD Cess, and CVD Hcess in these ways:

  • In the Opening Balance of Duty in Credit section of the report under the CVD, the CVD Cess, and the CVD Hcess columns. The system retrieves these values from the AII CVD Opening Balance and the AII CVD Cess Opening Balance columns in F75I310Y, and from the opening balance corresponding to the CVHC Tax type in F75I311, respectively.

  • In the Fresh Credit Allowed section of the report under the CVD, the CVD Cess, and the CVD Hcess columns. The system retrieves these values from the Counter Vailing Duty, the CVD Cess, and the Taxable Rounding columns respectively, if the value in YIRF (Issuing / Receiving Branch Plant) field is R, and the value in IOTY (Input/Output Type) is I in the F75I313Y table.

  • In the Debit section of the report under the CVD, the CVD Cess, and the CVD Hcess columns. The system retrieves these values from the Counter Vailing Duty, the CVD Cess, and the Taxable Rounding columns respectively, if the value in YIRF (Issuing / Receiving Branch Plant) is I, and the value in IOTY (Input/Output Type) is O in the F75I313Y table.

  • The system also displays the CVD, the CVD Cess, and the CVD Hcess columns under the Balances section. If the value in YIRF (Issuing / Receiving Branch Plant) is R, and the value in IOTY (Input/Output Type) is I in F75I313Y, then the system displays values in these columns equal to the sum of values in the corresponding columns of the Opening Balance of Duty in Credit and Fresh Credit Allowed sections. Otherwise, the system displays values in these columns by subtracting values in the Debit section of the report from values in the corresponding columns of the Opening Balance of Duty in Credit section.

Run the Entry Book of Duty Credit on Capitals program to print the CENVAT details for capital goods. This report prints all excise financial transactions from the RG23C-II ledger for a given period, CENVAT credits against capital goods receipts, the debits from excise duty payments, and other transactions affecting the RG23C-II account.

The Entry Books of Duty Credits for Capitals report reads data from these tables:

  • Excise - RG23C - II Chapter Wise Transaction File (F75I317Y)

  • Excise - MODVAT/PLA Summary File - YARN SPECIFIC (F75I310Y)

  • Customer and Supplier master with VAT Reg No. (F75I210)

  • Excise - RG23C - II Item Wise Transaction File (F75I318Y)

  • F75I310Y - Tag File (F75I311)

(This pertains to Release 9.1 Update) The Entry Book of Duty Credit on Capitals program prints opening balances, closing balances, credit and debit details of excise taxes of capital goods for an excise unit by month. It prints CVD, CVD Cess, and CVD Hcess in these ways:

  • In the Opening Balance of Duty in Credit section of the report under the CVD, the CVD Cess, and the CVD Hcess columns. The system retrieves these values from the AII CVD Opening Balance and the AII CVD Cess Opening Balance columns in F75I310Y, and opening balance corresponding to CVHC Tax type in F75I311, respectively.

  • In the Fresh Credit Allowed section of the report under the CVD, the CVD Cess, and the CVD Hcess columns. The system retrieves these values from the Counter Vailing Duty, the CVD Cess, and the Taxable Rounding columns respectively, if the value in YIRF (Issuing / Receiving Branch Plant) field is R, and the value in IOTY (Input/Output Type) is I in the F75I313Y table.

  • In the Debit section of the report under the CVD, the CVD Cess, and the CVD Hcess columns. The system retrieves these values from the Counter Vailing Duty, the CVD Cess, and the Taxable Rounding columns respectively, if the value in YIRF (Issuing / Receiving Branch Plant) is I, and the value in IOTY (Input/Output Type) is O in the F75I317Y table.

  • The system also displays the CVD, the CVD Cess, and the CVD Hcess columns under the Balances section. If the value in YIRF (Issuing / Receiving Branch Plant) is R and in IOTY (Input/Output Type) is I in F75I317Y, then the system displays values in these columns equal to the sum of values in the corresponding columns of the Opening Balance of Duty in Credit and Fresh Credit Allowed sections. Otherwise, the system displays values in these columns by subtracting values in the Debit section of the report from values in the corresponding columns of the Opening Balance of Duty in Credit section.

14.6 Offsetting Cenvat Credit Against Excise Tax

This section provides an overview of how to offset Cenvat credit against excise tax, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for Credit Distribution (P75I012).

  • Offset Cenvat credit for excise and services against excise tax.

14.6.1 Understanding Cenvat Credit Offset Against Excise Tax

You use the Credit Distribution program (P75I012) to offset Cenvat credit for excise and services against the excise tax. For imports, you use this program to offset Cenvat credit for countervailing duty (CVD). You can also use this program to issue payments to the tax authority for any excise tax liabilities after offsetting the liabilities against Cenvat credit from excise and services. You can review all invoices for a particular period for which the excise has not been paid. You can make excise tax payments from the Cenvat accounts of raw materials, capital goods, and personal ledger account (PLA).

The excise-to-service transactions update the Credit Distribution table (F75I013). After you issue payments for excise or services, the system displays the voucher number generated when issuing payments to the tax authorities.


Note:

You use the Credit Distribution Percentage program to define the percentage for CVD and services.

The Credit Distribution program passes amount and account details to create a pair of credit and debit entries in the Account Ledger table (F0911) for the amounts being redistributed. The system generates and displays a batch number when the F0911 table entries are made.


Important:

You generate general ledger entries for the taxes in the F0911 table only after you run the Sales Update program.

14.6.1.1 Example of Credit Redistribution From Excise to Cenvat Accounts

You run the Credit Distribution program to redistribute cenvat credit against excise tax. Suppose that you have a debit balance in your cenvat account of INR 100, and you generate an invoice to pay INR 20 for excise tax.

This example shows the accounting entries in the Excise - MODVAT/PLA Summary File table (F75I310Y) and the Account Ledger table (F0911):

Figure 14-2 Existing distribution

Description of Figure 14-2 follows
Description of ''Figure 14-2 Existing distribution''

When you redistribute the excise amount to the cenvat account, the system debits the cenvat account and credits the excise payable account:

14.7.2 Understanding Credit Distribution Services for Advance Service Tax Payments

Each month, before you pay tax amounts due, you can offset your liabilities with credits. For example, if you made an advance service tax payment, you can use that credit amount to offset amounts due for service tax, education cess, and higher education cess.

You use the Credit Distribution Services program to apply advance service tax payments to liabilities. The Services tab on the Service Payments form includes:

  • Rows for service tax, education cess, and higher education cess

  • Columns for the actual balance, available balance, credit utilized, and advanced service tax utilized for each of the tax types

  • A field for the available advance service tax

You use the amount in the Available Advance Service Tax field to offset the liabilities for the service tax, education cess, and higher education cess. As you enter amounts in the Advanced Service Tax Utilized column for the tax types, the values in other fields change to reflect the amount of the advance service tax that you apply to the taxes. The value in the Net Amount To be Paid field in the header of the form also changes as you apply the advanced service tax payment to the taxes. After you offset the liabilities with the advance payment amount, you click OK to create a voucher for the amount in the Net Amount To be Paid field.
