UP VAT Act 54-(1) The assessing authority, if he is satisfied that any dealer or other person, as the case may, has committed the wrong described in column 2 of the table below, it may, after such inquiry, if any, as it may deem necessary and after giving dealer or person reasonable opportunity of being heard, direct that such dealer or person shall, in addition to the tax, if any, payable by him, pay by way of penalty, a sum as provided in column 3 against the same serial no. of the said table:
Table column 3 For a) the penalty is 20% the tax payable b) Rs.2000/-
Table column 2 The dealer has without reasonable cause failed,- a) to deposit the tax due for any tax period within the prescribed or extended time;
(b) to submit the tax return for any tax period in the pescribed manner.
I think, the retailers have to submit quarterly return and annual return also. kindly confirm the same with your UP local consultant
