Punjab Government has withdrawn the Entry tax under the Punjab Tax on Entry of Goods into Local areas Act, 2000, which was under judicial scrutiny and was cause of continous litigation between the Government and the VAT dealers across the State.
Punjab Government has notified goods u/s 6(7) of the Punjab VAT Act, 2005 on which Advance VAT will be recovered. Section 6(8) of the Punjab VAT Act, 2005 earlier considered Entry Tax as deemed advance VAT.
Just like the dealers used to do in the case of Entry Tax, they will be able to deposit the Advance Tax at the ICCs. For this an entry will be made in the computer system at the ICC. In addition to above, the dealers will be able to deposit the Advance Tax in the office of AETC as well as through internet banking.

The Composition dealer shall be eligible to opt for only one of the scheme i.e. Scheme A or Scheme B for all categories of works contracts to be executed by him in that financial year.
1. Amnesty Scheme: The Government allowed to bring an amnesty scheme (under section 107) for all tax dues, including for sales tax cases, for period upto 31.3.13. This will allow dealers to pay tax voluntarily and get relief from interest and penalty and criminal prosecution.
The composition scheme, notified vide No. 3(13)/Fin.(rev-1)/2012-13/dsvi/180 dated 28.2.2013 (effective from 1.4.2013), issued u/s 16(12) of the DVAT Act for works contract dealers has been modified vide present notification.
