             Highlights of Delhi Tax Compliance Achievement Scheme, 2013 & FAQs
      The input tax credit cannot be adjusted against payment of tax dues under VVAS.
      Accordingly, entire tax dues under the Scheme shall be paid in cash through the normal e-
      payment method.
      Adjustment of `excess tax credit' or `carry forward amount' from declared tax dues
      There are no provisions for such adjustment and, thus, entire amount shall be paid by the
      declarant in cash. He shall not be entitled to adjust his carry forward amount as per the
      Returns, if any. For example, a declarant, who has carry forward amount of Rs. 10 lacs as
      on the date of declaration, declares the amount of tax dues of Rs.12 lacs under this
      Scheme. In such a case, he shall pay entire Rs.12 lacs in cash, without adjusting the carry
      forward amount of Rs.10 lacs.

                       FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Enforcement Survey

Q1.   What is the procedure for evaluating the amount to be paid wherein
      enforcement survey/seizure of goods/ papers have been made or where the
      notice of audit has been issued?

      If the dealer wants the estimated tax dues to be evaluated he may contact the
      helpdesk      under    supervision     of   Sh.    C.    Arvind,   Additional
      Commissioner      (T    &    T).    Tel.   No.    011-23705434;    email    -
      actt.amnesty.scheme@gmail.com


Q2    In case of survey cases where default assessment is pending, and where advance
      cheque has been collected by the enforcement team at the time of survey and
      encashed; can such advance payment be adjusted from the amount of tax
      deficiency stated by the team in its report? If yes, where the amount of advance
      tax is more than the tax dues, can that excess payment be carry forward by the
      declarant and adjusted from his future tax liability?

      Yes, the advance tax collection can be adjusted by the declarant from his tax
      dues. Any excess payment can also be adjusted from his future VAT liability.
      However, he shall file the relevant details along with the DSC-1.

      Also, what about the case where the dealer admits his tax liability and deposits
      the same within 3 days of the survey?

      It would not be applicable since section 87(6) was inserted w.e.f. 1.4.2013; and
      the amnesty scheme covers the tax dues upto 31.3.2013.



Assessment/Audit/Special Audit

Q3.   Since dealers can declare under the VVAS upto 31 st January, 2014, whether
      assessment / audit / special audit / objection/ appeal / recovery proceedings of
      the Department will continue during the period of VVAS i.e. upto 31.01.2014 ?

      Yes. There is no guarantee that the dealer will opt for VVAS and hence, the
      Department will continue with assessment / audit / special audit / objection/
      appeal / recovery proceedings in the normal course and if the proceedings all
      completed then the dealer will need to pay the assessed tax with interest.
      Hence, it is in the interest of the dealer to declare and avail the benefit under
      VVAS at the earliest and in any case on or before 31.01.2014.

                                                                                     7
             Highlights of Delhi Tax Compliance Achievement Scheme, 2013 & FAQs

Q4.    If the notice of assessment has been issued and the dealer is not disputing the
       tax and interest and has already paid the same what would be the procedure for
       claiming benefit of waiver of penalty under Amnesty Scheme?

       The dealer can file DSC-1, along with proof of payment of tax and interest, to
       avail the benefit.

Q5.    Can VVAS be applied for part of the assessment order/notice of assessment?

       No. Under VVAS, the dealer would be required to pay the entire assessed tax and
       interest.
Q6.    There are instances of more than one rate of tax for the same/similar goods
       depending on sale value or other differentiation. Can we get an illustrative list of
       goods with more than one rate of tax?


       To ascertain the rate of tax on goods, the dealers are advised to refer section 4,
       section 6 and the Schedules appended to the Delhi Value Added Tax Act, 2004.
       An illustrative list of goods with more than one rate of tax is given below:-

Q7.    Where an Audit notice has been issued to the dealers; and the dealer wants to
       pay tax dues under VVAS, what would be the procedure for dropping/withdrawal
       of such notice?

       The dealer could estimate the deficit tax, which has led to issuance of the audit
       notice, and pay the same along with DSC 1. Alternatively, the dealer may contact
       help desk to ascertain his estimated tax dues on payment of which his audit is
       unlikely to be pursued, unless some other aspect which is substantially adverse
       comes to notice, and pay the same with DSC 1.

Q 8.   Can a dealer pay a single/ consolidated amount against his estimated tax dues in
       context of his tax dues for the multi-year audit or multi-year special audit
       ordered against it; or otherwise?

       Yes, the declarant can pay tax dues through single challan and file one DSC-1 for
       the consolidated amount. However, the declarant shall furnish tax period wise
       details of tax dues along with DSC-1.

Returns

Q9.    If a dealer has defaulted in filing return and has paid tax late what will be the
       procedure for applying under Amnesty Scheme and return filing?

       The dealer should file online return as per the normal procedure and apply in
       DSC1 separately for availing waiver of interest and penalty relating to the tax
       deficiency only. The dealer will, however, have to pay tax first, along with proof
       of the same, to claim the benefit under Amnesty scheme.

Objection/Appeal

Q10.   Where objection or Appeal has been partly allowed and case has been
       remanded, what would be the procedure for VVAS?

       The dealer will have to get the remanded case assessed and then avail benefit
       under the Scheme on the basis of revised order. He may contact the concerned
       Zonal Additional/ Joint Commissioner to get the remanded order passed at the
       earliest.

Q11.   Appeal filed before the High Court and Supreme Court cannot be withdrawn
       unless DSC-3 is issued. And it would not be possible to withdraw appeal before
       acceptance of VVAS. Can revised guidelines be issued in this regard?

       After the declarant dealer has paid the full tax and interest, as applicable, under
       the VVAS, the Department will issue a letter of intent of issuing DSC-3. After
       dealer files copy of application of withdrawal of Court case, the Department will
       issue DSC-3. However, this DSC-3 will get confirmed only when the case is finally
       withdrawn.






                                                                                        9

Q12.   In case of remand assessment, the interest is levied upto the date of remand
       order. Suppose the total demand of a dealer is 2 lacs; and the OHA has granted
       partial relief of 10,000/ and remitted the matter to the AC(VAT) for the
       remaining part of the assessment order. However, in remand assessment, to
       claim the benefit of this 10,000/-; the dealer might have to pay additional
       interest of 30,000/- (i.e. on remaining tax: from the date of original order till
       the date of remand order). In such a case, can the declarant pay tax dues as per
       the original assessment order, without getting the remand assessment done as
       directed by the OHA?


       Once the remand assessment order is passed, the original order gets merged in
       the remanded order and loses its identity; therefore, declarant shall pay tax dues
       stated in the remand assessment order.

       However, where the objection is partly allowed but remand assessment has not
       been framed till the date of declaration, the declarant can pay tax dues as per
       the original assessment order, provided the declarant pays full tax and interest
       as per earlier assessment order and not a part of it.

Penalty
Q13.   Where tax and interest have been admitted, and paid; however, penalty is under
       challenge: Can VVAS be applied for amount of penalty in relation to such tax? If
       yes, how DSC-1 to be filed since nothing would be payable?


       Yes, the dealer can file DSC-1, along with proof of payment of tax and interest, to
       avail the benefit.



Q14.   Where amount of tax and interest is Rs. 10,000/- and penalty is Rs. 5,000/-. The
       dealer has already paid Rs.12,000/-. How would DSC-1 be filled since there is
       excess payment of Rs.2,000/-?

       The penalty paid/ partly paid prior to the date of notification of the Scheme will
       not be allowed to be adjusted. The amnesty benefit would be available only for
       the balance of penalty.

Q15.   Whether the amount paid towards the stay of demand of penalty can be
       adjusted towards tax dues? For example, assessment is made for an amount of
       tax and interest for 10,000/-; and for penalty - 5,000/-. The dealer deposited
       stay amount of 2,000/- towards tax; and 1,000/- towards penalty. How much
       amount would be deposited by the declarant under VVAS?



                                                                                       10
              Highlights of Delhi Tax Compliance Achievement Scheme, 2013 & FAQs

       The declarant shall pay 7,000/- [10,000/ (-) 2,000/ (-) 1,000/] under VVAS; and
       get immunity from payment of penalty of 5,000/-.


Registration
Q.16   a) Whether a dealer, whose registration has been cancelled due to any reasons,
          has neither deposited tax nor furnished return after cancellation, can opt for
          the amnesty scheme simply by paying the tax dues under the scheme?

       b) Will there be any difference if the objection/appeal against the cancellation
          order is pending?

       c) If yes, what will be the procedure?

       No. There is no provision of summary disposal of restoration application under
       amnesty scheme. The restoration process has to be through objection only.
       Moreover, suo-motto cancellation of registration is done in rare cases due to
       serious violation. Thus, summarily restoring all such cases in amnesty scheme
       without going into merits may not be possible. However, the dealer can avail of
       the amnesty scheme as unregistered dealer during the period of cancellation.
       The dealer is not expected to file the returns for the unregistered period as far as
       Amnesty scheme is concerned till he gets a new registration or his earlier
       registration is restored.

Q17.   Can an unregistered dealer/contractee, who has discontinued his business
       before 31st March 2013, pay tax dues under VVAS without getting registration
       under the Act (to avoid registration, and then its cancellation)?

       Yes, he can pay tax dues under this Scheme. However, where the dealer claims
       that he is not liable to pay tax under the Act from 1 st April 2013 upto the date of
       declaration, he shall file an affidavit in this regard along with DSC-1. In the
       affidavit the dealer/ contractee shall indicate his date of liability (date on which
       his business activities started) and the date on which he ceased to be a dealer/
       contractee.


Preparation of DSC-1
Q18.   Whether period of turnover, to which tax dues relates, would be disclosed in
       DSC-1 by the declarant?

       Yes; so that the dealer can be given the benefit of declaration for that period.

Q19.   The Builder, if opts to pay tax @3%, would claim deduction for land from GTO.
       Will he be required to furnish year wise computation of turnover along with DSC-
       1?

       Yes.
                                                                                          11
           Highlights of Delhi Tax Compliance Achievement Scheme, 2013 & FAQs

Q20.   A dealer pays tax under VVAS for the period from 1.4.2009. Would he be
       summoned for non-declaration of tax dues for the period before 1.4.2009?

       DSC-1 will discharge the dealer of his liabilities for the period/year for which it is
       filed. As per proviso to Section 34 (1) (b) of the DVAT Act, 2004, the
       Commissioner can examine non-declaration of tax dues upto six years.


Works Contract/Builder
Q21.   A contractee opts for VVAS and pays tax of 3% after obtaining registration. He is
       not required to file TDS return for the period upto 31.03.2013. His immediate
       contractor has also not filed his return.
       -   Since the language of explanation to clause 3(5) is not clear, whether
           contractor would get immunity from payment of tax, apart from interest and
           penalty?
       -   What would be the procedure to disclose the name of the contractor by the
           contractee, so that contractor could get immunity from tax, etc.?


       Yes. If one of the parties either contractee or contractor avails the Scheme and
       pays 3% tax, then both the parties will get immunity from interest and penalty
       for the particular contract/ part of contract. The contractee has to file the return
       as per the provisions of the DVAT Act & Rules wherein the name of contractor
       has to be filled up.


Q22.   It has been stated in the VVAS that double taxation has been avoided in works
       contract transaction. Where the contractee has failed to deduct TDS, but his
       contractor has paid due taxes and filed returns as prescribed, will the contractee
       get immunity under this scheme? If yes, what will be the procedure?

       Yes, the contractee can get immunity under the VVAS. For this purpose, he shall
       file DSC-1 along with copy of all returns filed by his contractor along with Form
       2B of the contractor. The contractee shall get immunity only of that turnover
       amount, which is stated by the contractor in Form 2B of his DVAT Return against
       that contractee. If the contractee does not have TAN under the Act, he shall first
       obtain TAN under the Act.

Q23.   Please explain calculation of tax in case of collaboration agreement.

      LO = LAND OWNER, BD = BUILDER DEVELOPER, IP = INTENDING PURCHASER
      LO entered into a Collaboration Agreement with the BD, for a property. The BD
      constructs four floors - two would belong to the LO and two to the BD.
   1) BD would also pay a sum of  150 to the LO (area of plot being 200 sq. yds, the
      size of original plot)

      Notes:
      - It is assumed that separate conveyance deed
      for land has neither been executed between
      LO and BD nor between BD and PB
      (If separate conveyance deed signed, then
      value is ascertainable from the same)
      - Tax shall be payable minimum at circle rate
      of construction.
      *It is presumed that  47.5 comprises of cost
      of materials and labour and the profit earned
      on construction.


B     Tax on works contract carried by BD for IP

        In case where the land cost cannot be
        ascertained by above method then it will be
        calculated on the basis of circle rate of land.


B.2     Alternatively                                     (OR)
        Pay tax @1% on  300                               300       1              3

                                                          contract as calculated in (B)

In case the actual cost of construction or actual cost of land is not ascertainable from the
book of accounts, circle rates for construction or land shall be taken into account to
calculate the VAT liability.
      1) Total cost of construction for the entire property is  95 i.e.  47.5 for the
         portion of the LO &  47.5 for the BD's share.

      2) Total cost for the BD for his share comes to  150 plus  95 i.e.  245.

      3) BD sells his share for  300.
