As expressly mentioned in Section 22, the primary object of business audit is to promote compliance with law.

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)

These dealers made a request and shown their willingness for filing e_Return even though it is not mandatory for them to file e-Return. It is the endeavor of the department to encourage the filing of e_return. Therefore, the request of these dealers is accepted and they were allowed to file e_Return.
Following an agreement between the Central Government and the State Governments, the rate of Central Sales Tax was reduced from 4 per cent to 3 per cent in this financial year. It is now proposed to reduce the rate to 2 per cent from April 1, 2008. Consultations are underway on the compensation for losses, if any, and once agreement is reached the new rate will be notified. I am also happy to report that there is considerable progress in preparing a roadmap for introducing the Goods and Services Tax with effect from April 1, 2010.
