Dear Friends,
My client has Sales Tax No. since 1989. his turnover during 2009-10 was less than 10 lacs but he charged DVAT on his sales. In this year too, his turnover will be less than 10 lacs. I believe that he should not charge DVAT since his turnover is less than 10 lacs.
Please inform me whether I am right or wrong. |

Dear Sunil,
In Delhi ‘Taxable Quantum’ or threshold limit prescribed for making a dealer liable to pay tax & for registration is Rs. 10 Lakhs. Even though the turnover is below 10 Lakhs, a dealer can register his firm under Volunatry Registration.
Please check whether your client has registered his firm as a VAT Regular Dealer or Composition Dealer.
If the dealer registers as a Regular Dealer, he can collect VAT on Sales and avail Input tax credit benefit.
If the dealer registers as a Composition Dealer, he has to Purchase goods only from Registered Dealers, He can't collect VAT on his Sales and avail input tax credit.
With regards,
Subramanya
