i have taken a shop space for rent and have the rental agreement.submitted all papers for vat registration. on inspection of premises, vat authorities inform me that the earlier tenant of the premises has not closed his firm as per the records and has arrears. hence my vat application will not be entertained at any cost. Kindly clarify whether i should be penalised for default by the earlier tenant?

No. Certainly not. It is not your duty to find out where the owner is. The department has to tranfer those type of dealers to recovery. If the send the xerox copy of all documents then i will write a letter and send it to you. you have to type in your letter head and has to submit it. My address is B.Srinivasulu & co., Chartered Accountatns, No.11, 3rd Cross, 5th Main, N.R.Colony, Bangalore - 560019.
