07 March 2010 As per rule 18, Frist VAT return has to file from the date of starting of business. I.e, for the Un registered period also. Hence file returns from the date of start of business. The Abstract of rule 18 is given below:

"Rule 18(1) Where a dealer has become liable to be registered under this Act, the first return to be furnished by him shall be for the period from the appointed day, 1st April of the year, or as the case may be, from the date of event which makes him liable to pay tax to the end of the six-monthly period containing the date of registration. He shall continue to file six-monthly returns in respect of periods ending on or before the end of the year containing the date of effect of registration. The six-monthly return shall be filed within twenty-one days of the end of the six-monthly period to which the return relates."
