I have imported goods worth 4 lakhs for house construction in Karnataka, and at the Bangalore/Hosur Checkpost the Sales tax department demanded a penalty for non availability of prior permission from Commercial tax dept. for entry of goods into Karnataka even if it is for own use. All Customs Duties were paid, CVD, SAD, etc, etc.. everything properly imported in merit and documented, but it is a shame that the tax authorities are penalising for not getting prior permission ??? Is there a way I can fight this. ?
