Dear
Sir,

SUB: REIMBURSEMENT OF TAX PAID ON PURCHASES BY CHEMISTS
& DRUGGISTS
We
are in receipt of your above letter and noted its
contents. We would like to clarify as follows:
We
would like to inform you that there are several
companies, who are having their super stockists
and or they are getting their products manufactured
by third party arrangements, under such circumstances
the rates charged by them are inclusive of Sales
Tax and our members are not aware about Tax factors.
We will please if your kindselves will look into
this matter and issue notification to the effect
that all medicines should have printed on it "Amount
of Sales Tax suffered on first sale along with MRP.
By doing so our members will be relieved of anxiety
of over/ under charging and will benefit consumers
too. We hope you will take into consideration that
there are nearly 60,000 brands in retail chemists
shop and also due to complexities of various taxes
it becomes difficult for our members to follow your
guidelines even though they are willing to do so.
We appreciate the clarifications and co-operations
rendered by you from time to time on various issues
related to our trade ad we hope that you will give
us an opportunity to explain in detail our point
of view on above subject.
Thanking you,
Yours
Faithfully
For, The M.S.C.D.A
(J.S.
Shinde)
