Hi,
Hope you are doing well !!
You just need to submit the purchase proofs to the department.
I bought goods on DVAT bill from suppliers in third and fourth qtr of 2016-17. Some of the suppliers did not pay tax for which mismatch report is showing in records. I have all the bills of those suppliers plus payment proofs from bank. What should I do? Should I pay the tax (I have already paid the tax while purchasing) again? Or, can I show all the purchase proofs to the department? Please guide.
Someone told me that department does not consider proofs. They will collect tax from you and will give you assurance that once they will collect tax from the defaulters, they will issue refund to you in future which I think shall never happen. This leaves me with two options - either pay the tax before getting the notice and save the penalty at least or fight for my rights once I receive notice. What would you suggest? Please describe in a bit detail if possible considering my dilemma.
Dear sir,
You just need to submit the bills and ensure that the dealer is having proper Registration number and same is mentioned on the bill.
If the above 2 conditions are satisfied then these case laws would save you from paying the tax 2nd time.

Thank you.
Hi,
You can go the below link for your reference:
Conclusion: Credit would not be denied to the purchasing dealers who have bonafide transacted with the selling dealer by taking all precautions as required under the statue and those that have not taken precautions, ideally, otherwise eligible ITC should not be denied to the bonafide purchasing dealer merely on fault of selling dealer.
It should not be made the responsibility of the purchasing dealer to ensure that the tax is deposited by the selling dealer to the extent transaction is bonafide.
So, you are not required to pay the taxes again.
Hello Sir,
No, you should pay the tax again.
It is sufficient to submit all the bills of those suppliers plus payment proofs from bank to the department.
Hi
No need to pay the taxes again.Only thing you have to do is preserve all proof of tax payment,present it to department.
Hope it helps
Hi
You dare eligible to claim the ITC since you have actually paid the taxes already. Since you have also not received any notice yet, there's no point in reversing the credit.
A similar case was decided recently in Arise India Limited and others Vs. Commissioner of Trade & Taxes, Delhi and others.
- It is the responsibility of the seller to pay tax once the tax is collected from the purchaser. You should produce the bills and payment proofs to the officer. Please don't pay tax again. Go in appeal if required. I am based in Delhi and may assist you if required.
