### **Gujarat VAT Audit Provisions**
Under the Gujarat VAT Act, certain provisions mandate a VAT audit based on the turnover and nature of transactions. Here’s a detailed explanation addressing your query:
#### **1. **VAT Audit Requirements Under Gujarat VAT Act:**
**Section 63 of the Gujarat VAT Act** pertains to the requirement for VAT audit. As per this section, a registered dealer is required to get their accounts audited by a Chartered Accountant if:
- **Turnover Threshold:** The dealer’s turnover exceeds Rs. 1 crore in a financial year.
#### **2. **Applicability to Your Case:**
In your case:
- **Total Purchases:** Rs. 1.60 crore
- **Total Sales:** Rs. 1.71 crore
- **Nature of Sales:** 100% of sales are exports
**Key Points:**
1. **Turnover Calculation:** For VAT audit applicability, the total turnover is considered, which includes both sales and purchases. Since your sales are exports, they are typically considered "zero-rated" for VAT, meaning VAT is not applicable on these sales. However, the turnover limit for audit purposes is determined based on the total turnover, including purchases.
2. **VAT Audit Requirement:** Given that your total purchase turnover exceeds Rs. 1 crore, **you are indeed required to get a VAT audit done** as per Section 63 of the Gujarat VAT Act.
3. **Export Sales:** Export sales are zero-rated under VAT, meaning VAT is not levied on exports, but the purchases related to such exports may be eligible for input tax credit. The audit would focus on ensuring that the input tax credit claimed on purchases is accurate and that the export documentation is in compliance.
#### **3. **Key Points to Consider for VAT Audit:**
- **Maintain Accurate Records:** Ensure all purchase and sales records are meticulously maintained, including export documentation.
- **Input Tax Credit:** Verify that the input tax credit claimed on purchases is accurate and supported by proper documentation, especially for goods purchased locally and used for export.
- **Documentation:** Ensure you have all necessary documentation for the audit, including purchase invoices, sales invoices, export documentation, and evidence supporting the zero-rating of exports.
- **Audit Reports:** Ensure that the audit is conducted by a qualified Chartered Accountant who will review your records and compliance with VAT regulations and prepare the audit report accordingly.
#### **4. **Practical Steps:**
1. **Prepare for Audit:** Organize your financial records and ensure that all VAT-related transactions are properly documented and reconciled.
2. **Engage a CA:** Appoint a Chartered Accountant familiar with Gujarat VAT regulations to conduct the audit.
3. **Review Compliance:** Ensure compliance with all relevant provisions of the Gujarat VAT Act, including documentation and reporting requirements.
By adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure that your VAT audit is completed successfully and in compliance with Gujarat VAT regulations. If you have further queries or need clarification, consulting with a VAT specialist or legal expert may provide additional insights tailored to your specific situation.
