[P. Patel]

Dear All

I am having my Gujarat Sales Tax & CST Registration Number since 1997.

Now in 1-April-2006 VAT had been implemented in Gujarat.

Question-1 : I want to know whether my Gujarat Sales Tax number is being converted in VAT number automatically or not?? and if yes than hoe to trace the same.

Question-2 : Is there any expiry of Guajrat Sales Tax registration in case of no turn over since 6-7 years???

Question-3 : How to retrieve the information online???

Please guide

Regards,
T.D.

AI Summary

VAT registration conversion may require fact sheet submission and continued filings to maintain and reactivate historic registrations.
Conversion of Gujarat sales tax/CST numbers to VAT TINs required submission of a departmental fact sheet and can be checked via the Gujarat VAT online portal; taxpayers must file nil returns during dormant periods and periodically renew the sales tax registration unless it has been cancelled. Where the original registrant is deceased, consult the VAT Department or a VAT consultant to determine steps for succession, transfer, or reactivation before resuming business under the historic registration.
