Regarding input tax credit under TNVA ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... T Act, 2006, there is one clarification i expected in the article. It is on capital goods. The dealer, after availing 50% ITC, in the first year, sells the same or transfers the same and in such situation, whether he has to reverse the ITC availed u/s 19(4) of TNVAT Act. In what way capital goods is different from goods in ITC reversal? Thanks RENGARAJ R.K Dated: 23-8-2013 Reply By MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN as = Dear Sir, There is no provision for reversal of credit on capital goods. The credit on capital goods shall be availed up to 50% in the same financial year. In subsequent year (i.e., in the second and third year) he can avail the balance 50% of credit on capital goods provided the capital goods are in the possession of the dealer. Therefore even after availing the balance credit on capital goods, if the dealer sells or transfers the capital goods there is no requirement of reversal of credit, in my opinion. I thank you for giving me an opportunity to analyze the provisions in this aspect. With regards, M. GOVINDARAJAN Dated: 24-8-2013 Reply By KAMARAJ RENGARAJ as = Dear Sir, Thanks for the reply. Since we both are lawyers, for i ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... nterpration purpose, i would like to know the meaning " in possession". Please read in between the lines and clarify. Possession means, whether the capital goods is to be in the dealer's possession upto 3 years?. I have a slight variation in the opinion, Since both excise and service tax provisions do not allow the assessee to avail the cenvat if the same is disposed and cenvat has to be reversed proportionately. This ITC scheme is borrowed from the central act, and hence, if after availing itc on capital goods whether the government will allow the dealer to enjoy the benefit (50%)? Regards, Rengaraj M.Com., MBA (FM), LL.B Dated: 25-8-2013 Reply By MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN as = Dear Sir, Input tax credit can be availed within 3 years if the dealer is in possession of the capital goods. CENVAT credit Rules, 2004 specifically provides for the reversal of CENVAT credit. But the same has not been found place in TN VAT Act, 2006. Regards, M.

Dated: 2-9-2013 Reply By MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN as = Dear Sir, The dealer is not liable to levy and pay tax if his turnover on purchases and sales is less than Rs.10 lakhs and in any other cases it is Rs. 5 lakhs. The Act requires for registration. The application for registration shall be filed within 30 days- - from the date of commencement of the Act; - if the dealer reaches the prescribed total turnover, within 30 days in reaching the said turnover; -from the date of commencement of business. You have mentioned that you have registered during June 2012. Please inform whether your turnover has reached the said limit including the April and May transactions? Regards, M.

Dated: 16-3-2015 Reply By muthu kumaran.vp as = Sir Company purchased a capital goods and used for manufacturer. But failed to claim input in the first year. Whether the company can claim 75% (50% for first year + 25% for second year) or 25% for the current year alone or not possible to claim as the company failed to claim the input in the first year. As per TN VAT provisions, unclaimed input will be lapsed after three years to the government. However, in this case, we have another two years to claim but in the first year, we have not claimed the input. kindly clarify.
