02 August 2025 For VAT audit, the due date for filing the audit report usually varies by state but is commonly **31st December** following the end of the financial year. For example, for FY 2013-14, the VAT audit report is generally due by 31st December 2014.

### If you file the VAT audit report after the due date, possible impacts include:

* **Late filing penalty:** States may impose penalties or fines for delayed submission of audit reports.
* **Scrutiny or notices:** Delayed filing may trigger scrutiny or notices from the VAT department.
* **Interest on tax dues:** If the audit reveals additional tax liability and the report is late, interest may also be charged.
* **Non-acceptance of audit report:** The department may reject late audit reports or not consider it for compliance benefits.

### What to do if you miss the due date:

* File the audit report as soon as possible with a letter of explanation.
* Pay any penalties or interest promptly if applicable.
* Try to regularize compliance to avoid repeated issues.

If you tell me which state you are referring to, I can help check the exact due date and penalty provisions.
