02 August 2025 Under **Karnataka VAT**, here are the details for **VAT Audit conditions** as of around 2010:

### 1. **Turnover Limit for VAT Audit**

* VAT audit is **mandatory if the turnover exceeds Rs. 1 crore** in the relevant financial year.
* This limit is for **gross turnover** (total turnover including sales, stock transfers, etc.).

### 2. **Does the turnover include URD (Unregistered Dealers) sales?**

* Yes, **turnover includes sales to unregistered dealers (URD)** as well.
* The total turnover includes **all sales made, whether to registered dealers or unregistered dealers**, as well as local sales, interstate sales, and stock transfers.

### 3. **What about purchases?**

* The audit mainly focuses on **sales turnover** but purchases and input tax credits are also examined during the audit for compliance.

### Summary:

| Criteria | Details |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
| Turnover Threshold | ₹1 crore (Gross Turnover) |
| Includes URD Sales | Yes, URD sales are included |
| Applicable For | Dealers registered under Karnataka VAT Act |

If turnover crosses ₹1 crore, the dealer must get their accounts audited by a Chartered Accountant or a Cost Accountant and submit the audit report (Form VAT-XXX) along with the VAT return.
