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. A 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.

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. 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.

Assigning Percentage of Cenvat Credit

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

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.

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).

• Reviewing the offset Cenvat and Cenvat credits amounts.

• Calculating duty liability for goods consumed.

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 are consumed internally by a manufacturer.

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

5. Set the value of the processing option Consumption Mode to 1to review existing stock transfer orders.

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.

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.

Prerequisites

Before you perform the tasks in this section, you must:

1. Set up the excise unit and the branch/plant relationship.

2. Update the debit amount with AR information and the credit amount with AP information at the recovery moment for the services in the Service Tax Cenvat table (F75I750).

3. Complete the O2C and P2P cycles for excise and service taxes.

4. Set up the credit distribution percentage.

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

• Set processing options for Credit Distribution - Services (P75I013).

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

Understanding Cenvat Credit Offset Against Service Tax

You use the Credit Distribution - Services program (P75I013) to offset Cenvat credit for excise and services. You also use this program to issue payments to the tax authority for any service tax liabilities after offsetting the liabilities against Cenvat credit from excise and services. You must pay the services from the Cenvat accounts for services, raw materials, and capital goods in accordance with the percentage defined in the Credit Distribution Percentage application and then create an AP voucher in a specified order.

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

Prerequisites

Before you perform the tasks in this section, you must:

1. Set up the relationship between an operating unit and a business unit or cost center.

2. Update the debit amount with AR information and the credit amount with the AP information at the recovery moment for the services in the F75I750 table.

3. Complete the O2C and P2P cycles for the excise and service taxes.

4. Set up the credit distribution percentage.
