24 July 2024 If your friend's business turnover for the financial year 2014-15 exceeded ₹10 lakhs as of 28th February 2015, he was required to register for VAT (Value Added Tax) within the prescribed time frame under Tamil Nadu VAT laws. Since he hasn't registered, paid any amount, or filed any VAT returns, here are the consequences he may face:

1. **Penalty for Non-Registration**: Typically, there are penalties for failing to register for VAT within the stipulated time frame after exceeding the threshold. The penalty amount can vary depending on the specific provisions under Tamil Nadu VAT laws.

2. **Interest on Late Payment**: If any tax liability arises due to sales made during the period when registration was required, interest may be levied on the late payment of VAT.

3. **Legal Actions**: The VAT authorities may initiate legal actions, including fines or prosecution, for non-compliance with VAT registration and payment requirements.

### Steps Your Friend Should Take:

1. **Immediate Registration**: Your friend should immediately apply for VAT registration with the Tamil Nadu VAT authorities. He may need to pay any outstanding taxes, penalties, and interest as required.

2. **Consultation with a Tax Professional**: It's advisable for your friend to consult with a tax professional or a chartered accountant who is familiar with Tamil Nadu VAT laws. They can provide guidance on the registration process, calculation of dues, and any penalties involved.

3. **Regular Compliance Going Forward**: Once registered, your friend must comply with VAT filing requirements, including regular filing of VAT returns and payment of taxes within the due dates specified under the law.

### Additional Note:
It's crucial for your friend to address this issue promptly to avoid escalating penalties and legal complications. Delay in addressing VAT registration and compliance issues can lead to increased financial liabilities and potential disruptions to the business operations.

Encourage your friend to take swift action by contacting the Tamil Nadu VAT authorities or consulting with a tax advisor at the earliest opportunity.
