BRANCH TRANSFER SALE, VAT + CST

[AJAY KHARE]

WE ARE MANUFACTURING & RESELLING OF LABORATORY CHEMICALS HAVING BRANCHES OUT SIDE MAHARASHTRA.  WE ARE SELLING EVERY YEAR TO OUR BRANCH UNDER FORM F AND BRANCHES ARE ISSUE REGULARLY EVERY YEAR.

NOW OUR ASSESSMENT IS IN PROCESS AND ASSTT. COMM. OF SALES TAX RAISE ONE QUERY AS WE ARE HAVING BRANCHES OUT SIDE MAHARASHTRA BUT IT IS NOT REFLECTED IN REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE AND CANN'T CONSIDER AS BRANCH SALE.

WE REQUIRED YOUR SUGGESTION THAT WHETHER ASSTT. COMM OF SALES TAX IS WRIGHT OR WE HAVE TO ADD BRANCHES IN OUR REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE.

EXPECTED YOUR REPLY AT EARLIEST.

Mere F forms submitted by your branches are not conclusive evidence of Branch transfer of goods out side Maharashtra. You need to prove the genuiness of declaration if assessing officer so requires.  In my view , non inclusion of branches in registration Certificate is a procedural lapse, you can convince assessing officer by  producing relevant documents in support of claim.

Yes.I think  you should include all your offices in registration certificate  to aovid such query in future.

Yes, not getting the branch in the incorporated in the CST Registration Certificate is procedural lapse. However, you would have to provide the information to the concerned department regarding branches outside the State.

Yes, We need to add our branches in the department before making a branch transfer to a particular branch. Without addition of a branch we shall not be eligible for availing "F" forms.
