24 August 2009 1. Yes, you need to give all the details asked for.The details filed will be your LVO, but the Officer do not belong to the VAT Office. Hence he will not be having copies of those filed at LVO.
2. Yes, he has got the right to ask and you are obliged to give. To see whether the same have been carried forward or if the same have been sold during the year. if so, then VAT on sales as scrap will be attarcted.
3. No, getting the details of your supplier is difficult. after improvement in the VAT computerisation, the Officer can know the detials of the supplier thru the system.
4. The Officer will be asking/ seeking details of P&M purchased during the year so as to see whether the Entry tax liability is to be discharged.
6. No the Officer is not concerned about the expenses incurred.
