03 August 2025 Regarding VAT return for construction of building in Punjab:
If the Pvt. Ltd. company has made additions to its own building by purchasing materials from unregistered dealers and paying labor directly (no contractor involved), then:

Purchases of materials from unregistered dealers are required to be declared in the VAT return.
Since materials are purchased and VAT (or tax) is paid on those purchases, the company must show these purchases in the return.
Also, if the company is using these materials for own use or capital assets (building additions), input tax credit may or may not be allowed depending on the local VAT rules and whether the construction is for own use or for business purpose (e.g. rented out or sold later).
In short:
Yes, include these purchases from unregistered dealers in the VAT return.
Mention them under the appropriate schedule/column (usually purchases from unregistered dealers).
Clarify whether input tax credit is applicable based on the Punjab VAT Act provisions.
