21 October 2016 Hi Subject Matter Expert(s),

I am unable to file MVAT returns on quarterly basis since 1st April 2016.

Kindly let me know the procedure and from where to get the forms? I have already paid the MVAT through net banking, just filing of returns remains.

Thanks a ton!

24 October 2016 So we cannot file the returns before 26/10/2016? Someone told me that forms will be available from November onward.
