20 July 2025 Gotcha, that’s a tricky situation with the sales tax notice and supplier entries marked as non-TIN customer despite you having a VAT TIN.

Here’s a clear way to handle this:

1. Is it compulsory to get revised Form J1 from suppliers?
Ideally, yes: Suppliers should revise their sales returns (Form J1) to correctly reflect your VAT TIN. This helps clear mismatches and avoid notices.
However, getting revisions from each supplier individually may be difficult, especially if many suppliers are involved and timelines vary.
2. Can you submit stamped & signed ledger extracts instead?
Many tax authorities accept ledger extracts (showing your correct VAT TIN sales) as proof, especially when supplier revisions are pending or complicated.
Ledger extracts should be duly signed and stamped by the supplier, clearly showing the transactions with your correct VAT TIN.
This can act as a supporting document to show you paid VAT and your purchases are genuine.
3. What to do given the short submission timeline (by 4th June)?
Try to collect revised J1 forms from major suppliers who are willing to cooperate.
For others, collect signed & stamped ledger extracts as proof.
If some suppliers delay, get an undertaking or declaration from them stating that revision is pending but sales were made to your VAT registered entity.
Submit a consolidated explanation along with whatever proof you get, explaining the situation and request the tax office to consider ledger extracts temporarily.
Follow up for future revised returns when suppliers can file them.
4. Additional Tips:
Keep copies of all communication with suppliers.
If possible, get a written acknowledgment from the sales tax office accepting ledger extracts as provisional proof.
Consult a tax professional or consultant immediately for preparing submission.
