Enabling and Creating Tax Unit (Excise for Dealer)

Business entities registered under service tax and excise may have branches with godowns at multiple locations. Each godown has to be registered under excise to identify the nature of purchase and removal of goods. Also each branch office has to be registered under service tax. The data obtained from all the branch offices have to be consolidated at the head office to centrally fulfill all statutory obligations, including filing of returns. In this scenario, each branch and the associated godown is considered as a tax unit.

Tax Unit is introduced to create and maintain multiple godowns with corresponding excise details in a single company. Each unit registered under excise as well as service tax can also be created as a Tax Unit. Based on the Tax Unit selected in the invoice, the transaction details appear in the Tax unit-wise report generated for Form 2 and RG 23D register. The following excise details can be defined in a Tax Unit:
