Delhi VAT Dealers – Caution in Purchases against Tax Invoices

1.           Buy goods from a trusted seller who files return and thereby pays due tax collected from you.
2.         Mere 2B statement filing by selling dealer not sufficient – selling dealer needs to back it up with return.
3.         Some selling dealers disappear before last date of filing returns - Not only would you lose input tax credit and pay the same with interest and penalty but also face criminal prosecution for producing tax invoices from such selling dealers.

 Strict Civil & Criminal action has started against defaulting selling and purchasing dealers who are benefitting from such bogus tax invoices.

The Department will in future, pending enquiry, place names of such dealers under category of doubtful dealers on its website.
