SN017·Goods where federal excise is charged in sales tax mode
Goods (FED in ST Mode)Submit this string verbatim. FBR compares the sale type literally — a normalised, retyped, or re-cased variant is rejected even when everything else on the line is correct.
What it covers
Certain excisable goods have their federal excise duty collected in sales tax mode, meaning the duty flows through the sales tax field rather than being reported as a separate excise amount.
Who needs to test this
Most business activities, wherever excisable goods appear in the catalogue.
Payload notes
- The duty is reported within the sales tax field, which explicitly covers excise in sales tax mode.
- The separate excise payable field is used for duty that is not in sales tax mode.
Common pitfalls
- Reporting the same duty in both fields double-counts it. Decide which mechanism applies and use only that field.
