Federal Excise Duty Act

Deducting the amount of duty paid on goods used to make or produce other goods from the amount of duty due on those other goods in the prescribed manner is Federal excise duty. It is best described by the Federal excise act 2005. It revokes the Central Excises Act of 1944. Following are the amendments made in this Act:

1. The word “Central” was changed to “Federal.” That makes the name “Federal Excise Duty” more applicable than the “Central Excise Duty.”
2. Contrary to the previous method, clearances do not require gate passes.
3. Adjustment of the excise duty paid on the input products used directly in producing excisable items is permitted, and double taxation has been removed.
4. All clearances will now be self-assessed, and no prior approval for clearance will be necessary, thanks to the complete elimination of the physical supervision system.
5. On various services and items, FED is payable in VAT more, i.e., by the Sales Tax Act of 1990’s provisions. See the link on this page labeled “Goods/Services Liable to Excise Duty” for more information.
