State Excise Law
International trade and commerce have a significant impact on a country’s economy. In a consumer–driven economy, India imports a range of goods and services to fulfil local demand. To generate revenue in order to meet the working requirements, excise duty is an essential pillar for any country’s economy. Excise duty is a type of tax that is levied on products for their manufacture, issuance, and sale. Excise duty is an indirect tax on manufacturers of commodities that is paid to the government of India. It is the reverse of customs duty in that it is imposed on domestically produced items while customs are charged on imports. Previously, excise duty at the central level was assessed as Central Excise Duty, Additional Excise Duty, etc. However, several other excise duty types were absorbed by the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which was implemented in July 2017. Basic excise duty is sometimes referred to as Central VAT (CENVAT). The Central Excise Tariff Act of 1985’s first schedule of commodities was subject to this category of excise duty. According to Section 3 (1) (a) of the Central Excise Act of 1944, this tax was imposed. The Additional Excise under the Additional Duties of Excise (Items of Special Priority) Act of 1957 imposed additional excise duty on goods of high importance. This tax was imposed on a certain class of commodities.
STATE EXCISE LAW IS CATEGORICALLY RELATED TO LIQUOR (RAJASTHAN EXCISE ACT, 1950). It can be amended accordingly and relevant parts of tax laws can be included with taxation. This space is complex in terms of the number of rules and regulations present to govern it. Excise act, customs act, and tons of other specialized regulations covering different products. They include SCOMET, Foreign Trade Policy, Food laws, the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, The Legal Metrology Act etc. This requires an extremely cautious approach while deciding upon compliance.
