Issues: Whether the petitioner was entitled to separate VAT registrations for different business units and ex-post facto approval to continue one unit under the composition scheme while another unit carried on liquor sales, in the light of Rule 47(1) of the Karnataka Value Added Tax Rules, 2005 and Section 38(6) of the Karnataka Value Added Tax Act, 2003.
Analysis: Section 38(6) permits separate registration for different places of business of a body corporate only subject to the prescribed conditions. Rule 47(1) makes that facility conditional upon the tax payable by the separate branches not being less than the tax that would have been payable if the branches were not treated as separate units. The Court accepted that the petitioner's first unit was under the composition scheme while the later unit dealt in liquor and food, and held that, on the facts, the separate registration arrangement reduced the overall tax below the level required by Rule 47(1). The Court also treated the Commissioner's reliance on the earlier Division Bench decision as correct and found that the composition scheme was not available for the liquor-selling branch.
Conclusion: The denial of ex-post facto permission and the refusal to recognise both separate VAT and composition registrations were upheld, and the writ petition was dismissed.
