Input vat disallowed by wb vat for 2007-2008 I AM AIRON & STEEL SUPPLIER REGISTERED UNDER VAT ACT IN WEST BENGAL. I PURCHASED RS FIFTY LAKHS GOODS FROM A DEALER WHOSE VAT REGISTRATION WAS CANCELLED ON 20/2/2008.I MADE PURCHASES FROM THE DEALER ON 23/2/2008,18/3/2008,25/3/2008 after cancelled date of his registration. The sales tax department have sent me a demand notice of RS 200000/on 13/9/2012.I was assessed by officer on 13/8/2010 previously. What should I do. Shall I HAVE TO PAY RS200000/ to sales tax department. I have made payments to party by bank through A/C Payee cheques.THE party from whom I purchased goods is still in the market and sales tax department has not issued any notice to the party.why should I pay twice the vat although it is the fault of the party who sold goods to me.

THE SALES TAX DEPARTMENT CANT CHARGE TAX TWICE.THE INPUT VAT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO YOU.IT IS THE DUTY OF SALES TAX DEPARTMENT TO TAKE TAX FROM THE CANCELLED DEALER.
