Non filling of Maharashtra Vat for petrol pump

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A petrol pump owner received a show cause notice for not filing Maharashtra VAT returns since 2018, despite now filing GST returns. While petrol pump retail outlets are generally exempt from filing MVAT returns as per a 2020 notification, the owner needs to formally respond to the notice. The advice given is to reply to the notice and quote the relevant exemption notification.
