Mumbai:-Three senior sales tax officers have been suspended for their alleged involvement in a Rs 50-crore scam. The three officers are deputy commissioners Lalitkumar Chavardol and Sadashiv Kulkarni and assistant commissioner Chandrakant Guthe. The suspension orders were signed by finance minister Sunil Tatkare on Monday. Incidentally, the department has also sent a proposal to the CM to suspend a joint commissioner.
On 22/01/10 the Hon. Finance Minister Mr. Sunil Tatkare has announced at the time of bhoomipujan ceremony of proposed building of sales tax office of Ratnagiri that MVAT Audit date is extended by 2 months. This announcement was made in the presence of Hon. Sales Tax Commissioner Mr. Sanjay Bhatia, but there is no official communication yet from the Sales tax department which is creating confusion.
As per Section 61 of MVAT Act, 2002 it is mandatory for all eligible dealers to get their books of accounts audited. As per trade circular No. 27 T of 2009 Dated 01.10.2009, any dealer who files Audit Report in Form 704 on or after 1″ Oct.2009 for any period shall file the same electronically in the new Form-704.
India Inc on Tuesday asked Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to introduce Goods and Services Tax “as early as possible”, amid speculations that the indirect tax reform may not be implemented from the scheduled date of April 1. “We want that the GST deadline should not be missed,” Ficci president Harsh Pati Singhania told reporters after a pre-budget meeting with Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee along with other industrialists here on Tuesday.
In view of this situation, it is necessary that the procedure for the issuing of such certificates should be standardized. Such certificates are very often required to be produced before various government authorities, local bodies or other bodies etc. for the purpose of tender renewal of licenses etc.
However, in view of the fact that the agreement has been accepted as genuine in the hands of one of the parties and economic consequences have also occurred because the assignee has made the payment to the Government, the transaction is necessarily be treated as genuine one, and for this reason,
In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (5) of section 10 of the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, 2002 (Mah. IX of 2005), the Commissioner of Sales Tax, Maharashtra State, Mumbai, hereby amends the notification No. Sr. D. C. (A & R)/PWR/1006/2/Adm-3, dated 6th October 2007 as follows, namely:—
Activity Codes are numerical codes that are used to define the activities of an economic unit. These codes are developed by National Industrial Classification (NIC) 2008. It is a standardized system of classification of economic activities essential for meaningful collection of data relating to such activities. This classification does not draw the distinction according to the kind of ownership, type of legal organization, type of technology and scale or mode of operation. It only classifies the economic activities under taken by economic units.
The sub-rule (1) provides the different forms of returns to be filed by various categories of dealers. Earlier, the dealers. used to submit these forms of return-cum-chalan physically either to the Bank alongwith payment of tax, interest etc., if any or to the Sales Tax Department where tax liability was NIL. These forms of the return were return-cum-chalan.
In partial modification of paragraph 3 (ii) thereof, it is advised that apart from the documents mentioned therein, any certificate / registration document issued by Sales Tax / Service Tax / Professional Tax authorities may also be considered for verification of the proof of name, address and activity of the Proprietary concern.
