Differential taxation is an attribute relating to turnover taxation, wherein the base amount upon which VAT is to be levied, is the difference of the sale and purchase price of the item.
Turnover taxes are imposed at more than one level of production and distribution without relief for the taxes already paid at previous stages, i.e., the taxable value at each stage includes the amounts taxed at the previous stage, as well as the taxes already paid. Differential tax is the additional tax which is paid by the seller.
Limitations
- Applicable only to items with unique serial numbers.
- A particular sales order cannot have multiple items with differential tax and standard VAT tax calculation.
- Merged invoices, i.e., invoices for sales orders with standard VAT amount as well as sales orders with differential tax amount, are not allowed.
