Thanks for your reply. However, as I stated earlier these suppliers are Unregistered dealers and will not be able to provide any biils. What's the solution??Do we need to pay tax on their behalf??
Regarding your **URD purchases of materials like sand, bricks, hollow blocks** for your works contract, hereโs the usual tax treatment:
---
### 1. **Tax Implication on URD Purchases:**
* Since the suppliers are **unregistered dealers**, they **won't provide VAT invoices**. * **You, as the purchaser, are liable to pay VAT on such purchases under the URD/reverse charge provisions** of your state VAT law. * The VAT is payable at the **rate applicable to those goods** (sand, bricks, hollow blocks, etc.) as per your state VAT schedule.
---
### 2. **How to Pay VAT on URD Purchases:**
* Calculate VAT on the purchase amount at the applicable rate. * Deposit this VAT amount directly with the state tax authorities under URD purchase rules. * Maintain proper records of these transactions (purchase vouchers, payment proofs like account payee cheques).
---
### 3. **Documents Needed as Proof:**
* Since you cannot get tax invoices from unregistered suppliers, maintain:
* **Kaccha bills or purchase vouchers** issued by the unregistered supplier. * **Payment evidence** such as account payee cheque copies or bank statements. * Internal purchase register recording URD purchases. * These will be your supporting documents in case of tax audit or assessment.
---
### 4. **Input Tax Credit (ITC):**
* You can generally **claim input credit of VAT paid on URD purchases**, which can be adjusted against your output VAT liability. * Make sure you report URD purchases separately in your VAT return, and claim rebate/input credit accordingly.

### Summary:
| Aspect | Action/Details | | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- | | VAT liability on URD purchases | Purchaser to pay VAT at applicable rate | | Documents required | Kaccha bills + payment proof (cheques, bank stmt) | | Claiming ITC | Allowed on VAT paid under URD purchase rules | | Recordkeeping | Maintain proper register & documents |
