I'm managing VAT Returns/VAT Audits for a particular Company which has operations in as many as 22 States/UTs. Where can I find a list of the latest updated Sales Tax Acts for the same? It is a pain to go to each and every state's/UT's official website for the same.
* Another popular portal for sales tax and VAT laws across states. * Also includes useful circulars and notifications.
3. **State Commercial Tax Department Websites**
* While time-consuming, official sites have the **most authoritative and latest laws**. * Some states provide consolidated downloadable PDFs.
4. **Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC)**
* [cbic.gov.in](https://www.cbic.gov.in) – for GST-related updates, though GST replaced VAT after 2017.
5. **Legal Databases**
* Platforms like **Taxmann, Manupatra,** and **LexisNexis** provide consolidated access to state tax laws (paid services).

### Suggestion:
* Use **STVAT.com** and **salestaxindia.com** as your starting points. * Maintain a folder with downloaded PDFs for each state. * For critical legal queries, refer to official sites or consult a tax professional.

If you want, I can help you create a checklist or summary for these states to track compliance or help gather the links. Just let me know!
