28 April 2010 hello sir,
my problem is that i have applied for one sale tax no. on 30/12/2009. but the number is issued to me on 05/02/2010 by department. on that time the period of return filing 30 jan was over.
so my question is that can i file return of period 29/12/09 to 31/12/2009 now with 4th quarter return. & is there any penalty for this if i not do so or do?

28 April 2010 Hi you have not mentioned which state VAT you are refering to. Here important things is that as soon as you apply for VAT registration , you will become registered dealer, it is immaterials whether you got certificate or not. So you have to file the returns even though you have not received the certificate,but you can mention APPLIED in vat Returns. YOU Cannot club the quarterly returns. Since i dont know which state you are referring , i cannot give you precise reply

plx give me suggetion that can i file 3rd quarter return now?

03 August 2025 For Punjab VAT (PVAT) regarding your situation:
Since you applied for VAT registration on 30/12/2009, you are considered a registered dealer from that date itself, even if the certificate was issued later (on 05/02/2010).
You must file the VAT return for the period starting 30/12/2009 (which falls in the 3rd quarter if your quarters follow the usual calendar) separately; you cannot club it with the 4th quarter return.
You should file the return for that period even now, mentioning your registration application date and actual registration number if available.
Penalty: There could be a penalty or interest for late filing, but it depends on the PVAT rules and discretion of the department. It’s better to file as soon as possible to minimize any penalty.
If you do not file, it could invite penalties and legal issues.
Summary:
File the return for 3rd quarter separately.
Do not club it with 4th quarter return.
File it ASAP to avoid penalty.
Mention in the return that you applied on 30/12/2009.
