Is there any notification or is there any provision regarding ineligibility of claiming VAT on an invoice which was issued more than 6 months back in Karnataka?

Please send me the link to the relevant notn.

I dont have any notification referecne. But when you are doing online filing of input credit details it will not accept the invoices which are agening more than six months (6month is from date of the Invoice)

Based on this we can conclude that invocies which are more than six month old will not be eligible for taking credit

Yeah, even according to me you can't claim input if they are more than 6 months... but there's nothing of that sort mentioned anywhere in karnataka vat act nor are there any notifications that i could find... If there was a legitimate provision regarding this issue, it'll be helpful...

Can anyone give me some proof?

u havbe excaped the invoice to take credit and rules allow u to take credit within the return period, if escaped then u had to revise the original return(s)

the rule

(4) If any dealer having furnished a return under this Act, other than a return

furnished under sub-section (3) of Section 38, discovers any omission or incorrect statement

therein, other than as a result of an inspection or receipt of any other information or evidence

by the prescribed authority, he shall furnish a revised return within six months from the end

of the relevant tax period except when such revised return is on issue of a debit note under

Section 30, subject to sub-section (2) of Section 72.

But this is not the case of incomplete or omission in the statement...

This is in respect of a construction company... A VAT invoice was raised on the company in 2008, for a project which got completed in dec 2010 and that particular expenditure has been booked now... So VAT has been accounted now... since it has been transferred to work-in-progress which will later be transferred to fixed assets of the company, it can't be disallowed as a prior period expenditure...

Can VAT be claimed in such a case?
