Please clarify if the dealer 'A' is registered in Vasai . He had purchased material from some other party located out of Vasai and supplied that material to another party who is located out side Vasai. In this case, is he liable to pay local body tax on this material which did not enter into Vasai limits.

‘Dealer A’ will have to pay the L.B.T. on Purchases made outside Vasai. But he can recover the L.B.T. from his client by adding the cost in its Sale Rate

Please confirm what is the percentage of the tax.

specify the percentage of the tax

Mr. Sadashiv Khobare .. Thanks for visiting Amazing Maharashtra.. For your query regarding the percentage of LBT... Please click the link "LOCAL BODY TAX RATE - C.H. WISE" which I have posted in my earlier comment

How to calculate LBT while costing for Purchasing goods.

a) If i am a dealer registered outside the LBT Zone and if i am selling goods to a party who is inside LBT zone . Do i need to charge him LBT? Since i am outside am i liable to take LBT registration

b) My second query is if a dealer is outside LBT zone selling goods to another dealer who is again outside LBT zone, are goods allowed to enter the LBT zone and pass through. ??

@Ashish... L.B.T. will be applicable on Gross Purchase Value... If your Bill Amount or amount payable to Party is Rs. 1500/- and the rate of L.B.T. is 1.3%, then your LBT liability for that purchase/bill is Rs.20/-. LBT is payable on a monthly basis by the 10th of the next month. Vendor/supplier will not charge the LBT extra in their bill. If the vendor or supplier is a trader and he is in LBT Zone then he will add the LBT cost in their sale rate.

@Jaya Parmar... Thanks for visiting Amazing Maharashtra... regarding your queries

A] You did not need to take registration... but you have to mention LBT Registration Number of your customers in your Sales/Tax Invoice

B] Yes.. It is allowed... but they will check your documents at LBT Naka.

@Jaya Parmar... Customer / Purchaser will pay the L.B.T. to the local body... you do not need to charge

we import water tanks from Nashik and are based at Andheri K east,what would be the percentage paid and where does one have to pay it

@Zahid... LBT would be introduced into Mumbai’s civic body from October 1, 2013 … so don’t worry about LBT. But you have to pay the Octroi.

i m a wholesaler of gold what tax i have to pay for doing business in thane area and i have to pay tax on sale or on my stock and if i go to thane and i cant able to sale my stock in that area then what about tax

@Kishor Jain ... If your shop is in Thane area and you are purchasing Gold from outside Thane then 0.2% LBT will be applicable on Gross Purchase Value. LBT is applicable on Purchase not Sale.. If you are selling Items outside Thane region and that area falls under LBT then the customer will pay the LBT on his purchase.

Hi,
By applying LBT Electronics & Electrical price go up or down?????

@spsahoo... It will go down... as Octroi Duty is 4.5% and LBT is 1.5%

we import material from foreign and stocks ex taloja (new mumbai) , my vat registration is in mumbai , but as sales made ex taloja (new mumbai ) no octroi is applicable , what will be the scenario in LBT

IS IT A FAIR PRACTICE TO MAKE DOUBLE TAXATION IN ONE STATE MVAT AND LBT ALSO , BOTH TAX WILL BE IN MAHARASHTRA GOVERMENT POCKET ONLY

@Tausif... If you are importing and exporting then there will be no LBT. You have to only produce proof of export. But if you only importing material from outside India and that the material used, consumed or sale in India then you have to pay the Local Body Tax on all the imports.

Hello Shridhar,

First of all..you are doing great job clearing doubts of everyone!

Here are some of mine -

1. I am a wholesale trader in Pune.I understand If I buy goods from outside Pune, I need to pay LBT to govt on my purchase value.Please correct if am wrong.
2. Now if I see the same goods to Pune retailers then will the LBT be applicable again on those goods? If yes who should pay it?

3. If I sell the same goods outside Pune (where LBT is not applicable) then will I get any LBT refund? If yes what is its percentage?

Thanks
Mohit Makhija

Hi Mohit.. Thanks for the comment :)

Regarding your queries

1. YES, You need to pay LBT to Government.

2. If you are purchasing and/or selling the goods within Pune limits then there will be no Local Body Tax. But If you are purchasing from outside Pune and Selling in Pune .. in that case you can recover the L.B.T. amount which you paid to the Government from your customer by simply adding/amortizing in your sale rate.

3. No Refund

Hi shridhar,

is their having any kind of process or exemption option like N forms and all like octroi.

Hi Sandeep... If you are exporting the material which you have imported earlier then there will be no LBT. But if you are sourcing material from India and your consignment is passed via LBT Zone for the purpose of export in such scenario LBT will be applicable.

i am shopkeepee in thane.my purchasing &selling in thane.is lbt registration compulsory for me

AS SAID EARLIER WE ARE IMPORTERS , 1ST WE PAY CUSTOMS DUTIES THEN EXCISE DUTY THEN SERVICE TAX THEN TDS THEN MVAT OR CST THEN NEWLY LBT THEN FINALLY INCOME TAX , SUCH A LONG LIST TO PAY TAXES AND NOW NEW LOCAL BODY TAX INTRODUCED (IS IT FAIR TO COLLECT SO MUCH TAX IN THE NAME OF DIFFRENT HEADS )

SR: Please clarify I have registered business in Vasai and i am buying good from Mumbai and bill to Mumbai base client in this case i am liable to pay LBT on material which did not enter into Vasai limits.

If yes then who will pay LBT client or Me?

@Sonu Siddiqui... Registration is mandatory... If you are buying/selling within Thane region then there will be no LBT... but you have to keep records of all the purchases and sales made... as there is a yearly Audit.. You have to show all the documents to Auditors

@SR... You are liable to pay the Local Body Tax... as you are registered in Vasai and you are doing trading business.. Buying from Mumbai and selling to Mumbai based clients... but you can recover the Local Body Tax from your clients by adding the cost in your sale rate

@Tausif Ahmed…

Custom duty is applicable on Imports (Central Government)
Excise Duty is applicable on manufacturing and trading (Central Government)
If you are giving services to clients then service tax applicable
TDS – Tax Deducted at Source… mainly FD/Interest/Rent/Labour Job/Commission
MVAT – State Government Revenue – on Sales
CST - Central Government Revenue – on Sales
Income Tax – on your income
Now LBT … LBT is a new version of Octroi… not new…

What you forgot
Professional Tax, Works Contract Tax :)

Is it fair for maharashtra government to collect MVAT and LBT on sales , different taxes by same government on same invoice , will surely create hassle for the business peoples ,

How can maharashtra government charge two taxes on one material MVAT + LBT , if they want money they must increase MVAT % , why to put another burden in the name on LBT on local maharashtrian public

How LBT is applicable to a Flour Mill, where only grinding services are provided?

Hello Sir,

(a) Who is liable to Pay LBT?

(b) On which value surcharge is levied?

and

(c) Same can be collected from customer?

@SR... They means pay the LBT from your profit

@Tausif Ahmed... The government will implement GST within 1-2 years.. Then there will be only one Tax “Goods and Service Tax”… all the other taxes and duties will be scrapped.... :)

@Ganesh Gunjal... Purchaser/Importer liable to pay the LBT.. There is no surcharge but the percentage of LBT depends on what product you are purchasing or importing... you can recover the LBT amount from your customer.

@Prem Anand ... Kindly elaborate your business activity

A Company registered in mumbai imports goods. Stocks the goods outside muncipal limits, thus not paying octrio. Sells all goods outside limits of Mumbai. Presently not incurring Octrio since goods are not consumed in Mumbai.
If same struture then as per your answers before LBT payable then.
IF registration changed to outside mumbai ( outside municipality limits is LBT payable then.

@Sanjay Gupta... As I said earlier LBT is a new version of Octroi.. If you are importing or purchasing the goods and keep outside the municipal limit... there is no meaning... because LBT is applicable on purchases made...you have to pay the LBT on purchases made on a monthly basis... the department will cross check your company's purchase records with their records. LBT would be applicable on 1st October in Mumbai... till date you enjoy the loopholes of Octroi System .. :)

As far as my understanding goes. Octrio is payable if the goods enter the muncipality limits of mumbai. And the logic of octrio is if it is consumed in mumbai octrio should be paid.
If I register my cimpany and carry out business outside mumbai limits where no lbt is applicabke say bhiwandi is the law satisfied and no lbt applicable.
Is the maharastra govt and the bmc serious for promot8ng small business in mumbai. How do I compete with delhi or any other city if I operate from mumbai. I dont cater to the mumbai marjet at all and only because my company is in mumbai I have to pay lbt
Pls clarify lbt or octrio is applicabke if goods consumed in kimits of mumbai. If not otherwise why there is a system of N form

Its the unjust tax that is being levied by. Maharashtara goverment , they are in a day dream of collecting huge amount through LBT , but many association doubt that there will be no business in the near future after imposing LBT , as good from outer state will be cheaper then maharashtra due to this extra Tax system , mumbaikars will not be able to compete in business with out of state business , so naturally its going to drop with sharpp decrease

To make my earlier comment clear

As per the defination of :

Octroi is a duty collected by on the goods brought into Mumbai for use, consumption and/or sale

There are lot of companies registered in mumbai having sales all over india. Such companies used to have warehousing outside BMC limits ( their purchase being Imports from foreign countries OR factories outside Mumbai limits ) and they carry out their distribution all over india from their warehouse. If they have any sales in mumbai they used to pay octrio only for the goods getting inside and sold in mumbai.
The above was perfectly legal way of doing business and in no way contitute " LOOPHOLES IN THE OCTRIO SYSTEM ". I disagree when you say the word LOOPHOLES since it means that the law is being twisted to avoid payment of Octrio

Now pls suggest how such companies can carry out the above activity within the framework of the law.
If the company cannot operate without the incidence of Octrio, it will render it out of business since companies registered outside mumbai will have substantial cost savings of Octrio cost.



Dear Shridhar, Many thanks for your guidance & clarifications on LBT, which have been most useful.
I have a unit in Navi Mumbai, where I was registered for cess (applicable & inplace of Octroi in Navi Mumbai & pay 1% cess on all purchases in Navi Mumbai.
a. When I sell in Navi Mumbai, I make the cess a part of my cost.
b. When I sell outside navi Mumbai within 6 months of purchase, I get a set off / refund of 90% of the cess paid.
Under LBT will I get any set off or refund on the amt paid on purchases brought into Navi Mumbai & then sold outside Navi Mumbai as applicable under cess ?
Anita

@Sanjay Gupta... All municipal corporations in the state of Maharashtra will start implementing LBT within due course.. So there is no escape… and as far as LBT is concerned it is lower than the Octroi. Therefore you are not loosing much more.

Hi Anita.. Thanks for the Comment :)

Regarding your query ... No Refund or set-off ... but you can recover your LBT liability from your customer..

Mr shridhar. The average margins in the business are so low nowadays that it will hardly just cover the octrio payable. How will anyone compete with companies outside maharashtra who save 4.50 % on purchase cost.
Navi mumbai has cess of 1% instead. Would shifting there save lbt cost.
The only alternative for business where sales are all over india is to shift from mumbai
Many thanks for your guidance.

Hello Sir,
Thanks For the guidelines, here are some queries.
Will you tell us about Payment procedure of LBT?
&
Return and Return Filing Procedure?

We are exporters of Whole and powdered spices situated in Navi Mumbai . We procure from all over India. We do not sell any goods locally. Are we liable to pay LBT
Regards
Anil Malani

Dear Shridhar,

Just went through your comments and it solved most of my queries. I still have a few though and would appreciate if you could solve them.

1. I am located in Bhayandar and we purchase material from Vasai. Now both of them are different LBT zones. Am I required to pay LBT in Bhayandar or I do not have to pay as my vendor has already paid it in Vasai.

2. One of my products has two parts for instance. If I buy those parts from outside the LBT zone, assemble them in the LBT zone and sell it outside LBT zone, can my product be considered a trading item?

3. If I procure some items from outside the LBT zone (pan India) into the LBT zone and then export it, will I have to pay the LBT?

4. On my purchase of goods, I have to pay LBT. But do I need to pay LBT on the transportation cost incurred in getting these goods in?
The local office says we have to pay but in the return forms there is no column to fill in these costs.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Neel

Just a small addition to my previous comment. Our company is a star export house and I went through Notification No. LBT-0209/CR-65/09/UD-34, and under section 28.6, it states the following.

"(6) The register dealer who is exporting the goods outside the territory
of India, shall be exempt from the levy of the Local body Tax in respect of
the value of the goods used for the purpose of such export."

Does this mean that if I am procuring goods (raw material, semi finished, finished) from outside LBT area into an LBT zone but then exporting the goods outside the territory of India then I am exempt from LBT all together?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Dear Sir,

We have a manufacturing unit in Thane. We buy raw material from thane itself, process it and sell at retail shops in thane, mumbai, navi mumbai, pune etc. Pls clarify at what stage we will have to pay the LBT. Is there any waiver for micro small scale industries. Also, when is it that the LBT officials can official collect the taxes. Because there are few people who are targetting small enterpreneurs who take up stalls in exhibitions and collecting random amounts from them in the name of LBT.

If i purchase material from Pune where LBT is charged on my Invoice now i am having my office in Nagpur so i sold it from my nagpur office should i need to pay LBT on that bill again as i purchased it from Outside Nagpur and i sold it to Amravati Customer that again Outside Nagpur now should he has to Pay LBT Again

@Himesh… ask Congress Government.. Why they are not implementing GST :)

@Sunny Arora.. If you are purchasing within the LBT zone then there will be NO LBT.. Yes, Registration is mandatory.

@Gunjan Khatri… If you are purchasing locally and keeping the Raw Material Outside.. Then there will be no Local Body Tax.. :)

How many times does one need to pay LBT.
Does a company who manufacture Goods and is not registered how can he pay LBT?

Join our movement against LBT which is an illegitimate tax being a dual tax only for the state of Maharashtra. Like our Facebook page - "LBT HATAO" and follow us on twitter at #LBThatao. Show your support and make it count.

My company is into Packers and Movers So do I need to pay LBT when I shifting the household item from Thane to any part of area

Dear Shridhar,

Is LBT applicable in Dist Raigad..

very impressive, Mr Mhatre . unfortunately , there is no other site from where we could get clarifications , the way you have managed. Kudos.
I have a query - our company is reigistered in Navi mumbai. we import material from abroad , store the material in Bhiwandi and sell it all over India. My queries are :
Where do I register and pay LBT - Navi Mumbai or Bhiwandi? Our VAT registeration is in Belapur .
Does it make sense to register for VAT also in Bhiwandi ??

I am a trader with office in mumbai, i purchase goods from outside mumbai and sell directly to clients outside mumbai (outside octroi limits). Physical material does not come to mumbai(municipal limits). How will LBT affect me in this case ?

LBT was replace Octrai.Octrai was given by traders when they get material from outside the city. Now local corporation wants all retailers to pay LBT. WHY? all are not getting material from outside the city. Most of the retailers get it wholesale dealers in the city. Then why should they pay LBT.Please clear it

hi sridhar, i am purchasing a flat in thane. and as per the new rule i have been asked to pay 1% extra on the total flat cost as a LBT. so can you please let me know how it is been levied on the purchaser of the flat

@Vibes2388… The current rate of Octroi is 4.5% and LBT is in around 1.5%... so prices will go down.

@Pawan Rastogi… If your business is registered outside Maharashtra State then you do not have to Pay LBT. But whenever you supply the goods in Maharashtra State, please mention LBT number of your customers in your Tax invoices.

@Farmood Shaikh.. If you purchase the goods within LBT zone and sell outside Maharashtra State then there will be no Local Body Tax. And regarding your second query.. If you are purchasing the material from the outside LBT zone in that only scenario you can recover the LBT cost from your customers.

@Hemant Varma.. Basically you are doing job-work.. So you can pay the LBT amount in lump-sum.

@Mukul .. LBT is applicable from 01/04/2013 in Thane and the Flat which you are going to purchase is a ready flat then please don’t pay any amount in the name of LBT to builders.

@Saurin Gada.. Yes, you have to register your business.. Registration of the Local Body Tax is mandatory..

@Hridesh Mehtani.. Local Body Tax is applicable all over Maharashtra

@alp.. Thanks for the comments :)
Regarding your query.. Please take Local Body Tax’s registration in Bhiwandi

@Dinesh Kadam… No.. You do not have to pay the Local Body Tax on purchases made within LBT Zone

Mr.Shridhar,
Great job!!!
1.If i have kirana store in vasai for which i purchase goods from outside vasai(out of LBT Area).so i will have to pay LBT???@what purchase value??
2.I sold all items within vasai only but my goods includes MRP based goods(e.g Biscuits,edible oil,soaps etc & some non MRP goods(e.g.loose jowar,rice,wheat etc.)
3.In case of MRP goods i cannot add any ammortization above MRP value,so which means i need to absord this LBT cost what i have paid to purchase this goods?????
4. In case of non MRP goods i can add/ammortize LBT cost that i have paid to purchase those goods,but how to calculate ammortization cost to be recovered from customers????

i would be very happy if u can clarify my doubts.

we are manufacturer of industrial capital goods and we have 1 unit within LBT zone and 1 unit outside. We are required to send the finished and semi finished product from 1 unit to 2nd unit for testing and then return to original unit. Earlier we used to do Shera Pass and claim octrooi refund on such cases. What will be the scenario with LBT?? will we get any refund on testing and return cases?? Pls guide. Thanks - Sangamesh Patil

Dear Mr. Sridhar,

Gone through all the comments & was able to understand a bit what exactly is LBT is. But still have some queries. We are in to retailing business having stores all over india. We are having our Head office / logistics dept in Mumbai. We normally purchase goods in Mumbai from various vendors situated all over india. Once we receive the goods, we transfer the goods to our various locations / stores situated all over india. Want to know how the lbt will arise in different situations.
Illustration:

1. We are purchasing in Mumbai from Noida goods worth Rs. 30,000/- & then we are transferring the goods to Mumbai , delhi & Bangalore Rs. 10000/- each(pure stock transfer to our retail stores, not sale). Whether we will be liable to pay lbt on whole 30000/- or only on 10000 which we are retaining in Mumbai or selling from Mumbai.

2. We are purchasing goods in Mumbai worth Rs. 15000/- from Noida & of that we are returning goods worth Rs. 12000/- as goods were not getting any response in Mumbai. Whether we will be liable to pay lbt on Rs. 15000/- or it will be only on Rs. 3000/-

3. Of the goods sent to Delhi as mentioned in 1st suppose We are transferring goods worth Rs. 8000/- from one of our store in Delhi to our Mumbai store (Pure Stock Transfer) whether we will be liable to pay. I mean the number of times we shuffle the stock & call in Mumbai we will be held liable everytime to keep paying lbt.

4. We are purchasing goods in Mumbai worth Rs. 15000/- from Noida & within 6 months we are returning goods worth Rs. 12000/- as goods were not getting any response in Mumbai. Whether we will be getting credit of LBT for 12000 which we are returning.

Hi Mr. Mhatre,
I am an importer. I import from China to Nhava Sheva and Sell almost 90 % of my Imports outside Maharashtra. There is no LBT in any other states except Maharashtra. In this case do I get any LBT refund if I can produce the needed Sales Bills. I have heard from friends in Vasai that there is some such provision for goods which are sold outside Maharashtra. One of my friends in Vasai also gave me the below example.

If I Import goods worth Rs. 100/- in Vasai then the LBT is 3% i.e. Rs 3/- But if I sell that material outside Maharashtra the LBT levied upon me will be Rs. 0.30/-. Is this true for Navi Mumbai as well.

Your help is appreciated.
