Only the basic value of the products sold in income & taken
in to Profit & loss A/c. CST/VAT/Excise Duty collected in
the invoice is not income, but liability to be remitted to
governments & hence taken on the liabilities side (under
Current Liabilities) of the Balance Sheet.

Sales' is excluding Tax. Net Sales is Income & Tax portion
is liability.
