As Maharashtra braces up for polls and celebrates its golden jubilee year, it tabled a revenue-deficit budget for the year 2009-10 on 4th June 2009 that focuses on infrastructure development and social sector.

The cost of the land shall be determined in accordance with the guidelines appended to the Annual Statement of Rates prepared under the provisions of the Bombay Stamp (Determination of True Market Value of Property) Rules, 1995, as applicable on the 1st January of the year in which the agreement to sell the property is registered.
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) would submit a representation to Tamil Nadu Government to make VAT Auditing compulsory in the State. By compulsory auditing of VAT, as in Maharashtra, the Government would have lot of advantages, including identifying the revenue leakage, said Mr G Ramaswamy, General Council member.
At present, the tax, which is levied on inter state sale of goods, is at 2%. It was scheduled to be reduced by another 1%, starting April 1, 2009. At the time, the rate cut was postponed on account of the general elections and the Election Commission’s code of conduct. Recently, the empowered committee of state finance ministers wrote to the Union finance ministry recommending that the tax should be completely withdrawn when GST kicks in, as there is massive evasion of VAT (which goes to the states’ coffers).
As the banks shall not be accepting returns or the corresponding tax payments from such dealers and as they shall not be able to get themselves registered for e-services, their physical returns shall be accepted by the Sales Tax Department.
In April 2009, dealers with six monthly tax liability are also being covered under the scope of e returns for the period ending 31st March 2009. Thus, in the month of April 2009, all the VAT dealers in Maharashtra would be uploading e returns. Perhaps, this could be first time in the history of Indian taxation, that such a large number of dealers would be filing e returns.
Trade Cir. 15 T of 2009 In Trade Circular No 16T of 2008, a relaxation had been granted that in view of the difficulties likely to be faced by the dealers in the initial stages, the dealers were allowed to upload the e returns within 10 days from the due date for the filing of respective return. This concession was applicable only for the returns to be filed for the months of May 2008 to September 2008.Such e returns uploaded within 10 days from the due date were not to be treated as late, if the payment of due tax was made before the due date of the paper returns.
In order to file electronic returns, the dealers are required to enroll themselves for the e services offered by the Department. It is noticed that some of the dealers have approached sales tax department with their difficulties regarding e enrollment or e filing of returns. The difficulties encountered by these dealers have been given due consideration.
The State Government vide Government Resolution referred to at Serial No.2 above, delegated powers of grant of Administrative Relief in respect of Acts administered by Sales tax Department mentioned therein, to the Commissioner of Sales Tax with powers to re-delegate further to subordinate authorities.
