A Seller issues client a 'Tax Invoice' against the goods purchased and he makes the requisite payment to such Seller.
Now, after 3 years, client receives a notice from MVAT dept that the Seller has defaulted in his deposit of the levied VAT and therefore, the same will be recovered from my client. The MVAT office is also not accepting the supporting documents evidencing the transaction.
- How 'JUST' is this demand from the MVAT dept??
- Would this lead to the understanding that the 'DECLARATION' on the Tax Invoice has no value/ redundant?
