Inventory Count Technique
To get started, make lists from your inventory system before the physical count and use these to make your count. These lists should include the item code, cost per item, and inventory quantity shown on the records, along with a space for the actual count and a space for the total value of that item in stock. After the count, calculate the value by multiplying the cost times the actual count. Then total this column for all items to get the total inventory value. With a manual system, you do this by hand, but a computerized inventory system can calculate the values, along with differences between actual and recorded inventories. By comparing these inventories, you'll have an idea of the loss of goods through theft or disappearance.
Partial stock take
Partial stock take is a method for physical inventory count. In this method, you do not disturb the operations. Instead you use techniques such as ABC to count inventories.
Take the top 20% of your items in terms of cost of goods sold and put them in Group A. Then, take the next 60% of products then put them in Group B. The remaining 20% will belong in Group C.
Here’s a quick table of what a retailer might come up with when grouping items using the ABC method:
Rate of sales tax on services in sindh

Extent of Adjustment of Input Tax
In relation to tax period, a registered person shall not be allowed to adjust input tax in excess of ninety percent of the output tax for that tax period. The adjustment or refund of remaining input tax shall be made on yearly basis in the second month following the end of the financial year of the registered person.
Claim Input Tax
In a particular tax period, a registered person can adjust input tax paid on goods and services purchased from local market, imported from abroad and goods purchased in auction during that tax period. He/she can also claim input tax paid in the immediate twelve preceding tax periods by mentioning the reasons for not claiming it earlier on the sales tax return.
Input tax and output tax example
An Example
For example if a registered person has bought goods that cost Rs 100 and he/she is charged Rs 15 as sales tax (input tax) at the rate of 15% his total purchase price becomes Rs 115. If he/she sells the goods for Rs 200 and charges Rs 30 @ 15%(as output tax) his total sale price becomes Rs 230. Output tax (15% of 200) = Rs. 30 Less: Input tax (15% of 100) = Rs. 15 Tax due (Rs. 30 minus Rs. 15) = Rs. 15
