In exercise of power conferred by sub rule (1) of Rule 17A of the Maharashtra Value Added tax Rules, 2005, The Commissioner of Sales Tax, Maharashtra hereby provides that the dealers who are liable to get the accounts audited as per the provisions.
No. Vat/AMD-1009/IB/Adm.6- In exercise of power conferred by sub rule (1) of Rule 17A of the Maharashtra Value Added tax Rules, 2005, The Commissioner of Sales Tax, Maharashtra hereby provides that the dealers in respect of whom the proceedings of business audit as per section 22 the Maharashtra Value Added tax Act, 2002 have commenced on or after 1st April 2009, Shall on or after 1st October 2009, Electronically upload the information in form 801, provided on the website of the Sales Tax Department.
The Commissioner of Sales Tax, Maharashtra hereby provides that the registered dealers who are entitled to claim the refund as provided under section 51 of the Maharashtra Value Added tax Act, 2002, Shall on or after 1st October 2009, Electronically upload the application in form 501, provided on the website of the Sales Tax Department.
No. VAT/U.O.R.No. 88/JC(Reg.) Mumbai – Trade Circular No. 23 T of 2009, Dated : 17.08.2009 Sub.: Procedure for on line submission of application [Statement of Requirement ] for the statutory forms (C/F/H/EI/EII) under the Central Sales Tax Act, 1956 and delivery at the place of business of the dealer.
Considering the genuine difficulty faced by the Trade in this respect, the instructions contained in Trade Circular No.8T of 2005 are being modified. Sales Tax authorities are instructed to also allow declarations in Form ‘I’ issued by Sales Tax authorities of other States. This will be applicable for a period of one year and the issue will be reexamined after that.
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committee of state finance ministers wrote to the Union finance ministry recommending that the tax should be completely withdrawn when GST kicks in, as there is massive evasion of VAT (which goes to the states’ coffers).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.
23. After careful consideration of the above circular it is clear that the contract for the sale of goods will not be covered within the ambit of sec. 194 C. In the present case we find that the assessee placed orders with the manufacturers for manufacturing of the medicines strictly according to its specifications but the property in such goods passed to the assessee only after these were delivered to him
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.
This circular cannot be made use of for legal interpretation of provisions of law. If any member of the trade has any doubt, he may refer the matter to this office for clarification.
