Welcome to Financial Year 2026–27
What happens on 31 March 2026?
31 March 2026 is an important deadline for Updated Return for FY 2024–25 (ITR-U) under
Section 139(8A) Income Tax Act.
Taxable Sales and Non-Taxable Sales is important for GST (Goods and Services Tax) and accounting.
Taxable Sales
Meaning:
Taxable sales are transactions on which GST is charged and collected.
Key Points:
- GST is applicable (CGST + SGST or IGST).
- Seller must issue a tax invoice.
- Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed (subject to conditions).
Examples:
- Sale of goods like electronics, clothes, furniture
- Providing services like consultancy, digital marketing, etc.
- Interstate or intrastate sales (tax depends on location)
👉 Example:
If you sell a laptop for ₹50,000 + 18% GST → GST is charged → Taxable Sale
🔹 Non-Taxable Sales
Meaning:
Non-taxable sales are transactions on which GST is NOT charged.
Types of Non-Taxable Supplies:
1. Exempt Supplies
- Goods/services specifically exempt by government
- No GST charged
Examples:
- Basic food items (like fresh fruits, milk)
- Educational services (in certain cases)
2. Nil-Rated Supplies
- GST rate is 0%
- Treated differently in reporting but no tax collected
Examples:
- Some essential goods under GST schedule
3. Non-GST Supplies
- Completely outside GST law
Examples:
- Alcohol for human consumption
- Petroleum products (like petrol, diesel)
4. Zero-Rated Supplies
- GST rate is 0%, but ITC can be claimed
Examples:
- Exports
- Supplies to SEZ units
🔸 Key Differences
| Basis | Taxable Sales | Non-Taxable Sales |
|---|---|---|
| GST Applicability | Yes | No |
| Tax Charged | Yes | No |
| ITC Available | Yes | Usually No (except zero-rated) |
| Examples | Goods & services | Exempt goods, exports, petrol |
