For Karnataka VAT, **Form VAT 240** is the **Audit Report** form to be submitted by registered dealers who are required to get their accounts audited.
Regarding your query:
* If the **COT Registration Assessee** (a works contract dealer) has turnover above Rs. 1 Crore during the financial year, then the dealer **is required to get accounts audited** under Karnataka VAT law.
* The audited report should be filed in **Form VAT 240** with the Commercial Taxes Department.
* This audit is mandatory to ensure compliance with VAT provisions and accuracy of input tax credit, turnover, and tax payments.
### Key points:
* **Turnover Threshold:** Turnover exceeding Rs. 1 Crore in the financial year triggers audit requirement.
* **Works Contract Dealers:** They are covered under this rule as well.
* **Due Date:** Usually, VAT audit report is submitted along with the annual return by 30th June following the financial year.
### Summary:
Yes, **VAT 240 audit is applicable to COT registered works contract assessee if turnover exceeds Rs. 1 Crore.**
If you want, I can share some guidelines or checklist for VAT audit for works contract dealers. Would that be helpful?
