As expressly mentioned in Section 22, the primary object of business audit is to promote compliance with law. Business audit is a device with the Department to ascertain and ensure compliance of laws that are implemented by the Department. At a practical level, the object of audit is to ascertain the correctness of returns and to identify inadequacies in returns, if any when checked against the books of account and the circumstances of the business. If the returns are not filed then, the audit officer is expected to quantify the liability of the dealer and enforce recovery. (Trade Cir. No. 25 T of 2008)

Imagic Creative (P.) Ltd. v. Commissioner of Commercial Taxes Payments of service tax as also the VAT are mutually exclusive. Therefore, they should be held to be applicable having regard to the respective parameters of service tax and the sales tax as envisaged in a composite contract as contradistinguished from an indivisible contract. It may consist of different elements providing for attracting different nature of levy.
