Client Challenges 90,000 Rupee Penalty for Unregistered Paper Import Under TNVAT Act; Claims No Sale in Tamil Nadu A client imported paper into Chennai without registering under the Tamil Nadu VAT Act and intended to transport it to Maharashtra. The VAT authorities seized the goods and issued a penalty notice for 90,000 rupees. The client argues that since the goods were not sold in Tamil Nadu, the state lacks authority to impose penalties or taxes. A consultant suggests that if the goods are not sold in Tamil Nadu, they can be moved to Maharashtra based on the Bill of Entry without needing a registration certificate under the TNVAT Act.
