05 July 2013 One of my client had taken Shop Act License in September 2011. However, he has not done even a single transaction till May 2013. From June 2013, he has started regular business activities under the said Shop Act License.

In this regard, I want to know, when he should register for Profession Tax Enrollment Certificate?

Secondly, while registering for VAT, whether I have to prove the Department that there were no business activities from September 2011 to May 2013? And if yes, how can i prove the same?

The client is a Proprietor.

05 July 2013 Hii Pawan. Thanks for your reply.

In the above case, my client- who was a housewife for the above referred period, had not filed her ITR. So what can be the other option to prove the Department that business has been started from June 2013 & not from Sept 2011?

She had just taken the shop act license.

05 July 2013 Practically, it seems difficult. & P&L a/c for which period? She was a housewife - not earning any income nor filed her ITR. Now she has borrowed money from her husband & started business. What should be done in this situation?
