03 August 2025 Hey! Here’s what you can do if you’ve already filed your VAT return for Jharkhand but missed declaring purchases from unregistered dealers:
1. Can you revise the return?
Normally, most VAT departments allow revision of returns within a prescribed time limit.
But if the system or department does not allow revision, then you need to take alternative steps.
2. What to do if revision is not allowed?
Disclose the missed purchases in the next VAT return — show the cumulative correct figures including the missed purchases.
Submit a written explanation or letter to the VAT department explaining the omission and your intention to rectify it in subsequent returns.
Keep proper records to support your claim.
3. Why is declaring purchases from unregistered dealers important?
Purchases from unregistered dealers might attract reverse charge mechanism or additional tax liabilities.
Not declaring these could lead to scrutiny or penalty.
Summary:
Situation Action
Revision allowed File revised return with correct info
Revision NOT allowed Declare missed purchase in next return + submit explanation to department
