In the context of GVAT (Gujarat Value Added Tax), here is the typical requirement for maintaining records and information under regular VAT registration:
1. Records/Register to Maintain under GVAT
Sales Register: Detailed record of all sales invoices issued, showing date, invoice number, buyer’s details, description of goods, quantity, rate, taxable value, VAT charged, and tax collected.
Purchase Register: All purchase invoices received, with details like supplier name, invoice number, date, goods description, quantity, value, VAT paid, and VAT input credit claimed.
Stock Register: Records of opening stock, purchases, sales, returns, and closing stock for each item.
Input Tax Credit Register: Documenting VAT paid on inputs eligible for set-off.
Output Tax Liability Register: VAT collected on sales, including details on taxable, exempt, and nil-rated goods.
Bill-wise Details: Both for sales and purchases, often maintained separately for easier reconciliation.
Tax Payment Register: Details of VAT payments made, challan numbers, dates, and amounts.
Other Registers as per GVAT Rules: Such as tax deduction at source (TDS) registers if applicable, waybills, and transport documents.
2. VAT Information to Maintain for Returns & Verification
Accurate and chronological recording of all transactions.
Copies of VAT returns filed along with acknowledgment receipts.
Details of any returns, refunds, or adjustments.
Proof of payment of VAT to the government.
Documents related to exemptions, deductions, or special schemes claimed.
Correspondence with VAT authorities, notices, or assessments.
3. When VAT Department Can Inspect Records
On granting VAT registration, the department may conduct a preliminary check or verify documents submitted.
During regular audits, assessments, or inspections by VAT officials.
When the dealer files VAT returns, especially if discrepancies or irregularities are detected.
In case of complaints, notices, or scrutiny under audit or investigation.
Random inspections or on any specific complaint against the dealer.
Summary
Maintaining these records meticulously is mandatory for compliance and smooth filing of VAT returns under GVAT. It also ensures readiness for any VAT department verification or audit.
