Dear Expert,
I seek advise pertinent to treatment of VAT benefit on sales return within 6months in the State of Madhya Pradesh under MPVAT Act. As per section 2 (z) Turnover - it clarifies that VAT benefit on Sales return to be claimed if the return is within 6 months from the date of original sales. However, there is no provision prescribing that the said claim must be taken in same financial year in which the original sales occurred. It is general scenario that sales of Feb, Mar gets return in subsequent financial return. Kindly through some light in this matter.
