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)

After much bickering with states, the finance ministry today reduced the central sales tax (CST) rate on inter-state sales from 3 per cent to 2 per cent with effect from June 1.The ministry notified the rate-cut to the states despite differences on compensating them for losses of about Rs 13,000 crore in 2008-09 because of the cut. CST was cut from 4 per cent to 3 per cent on April 1, 2007. It was to be reduced to 2 per cent on April 1, 2008, and phased out by March 2010.
A large number of representations have been received from dealers who are not covered by the Notification for filing of e_Return. 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.
