Form C

what kind of action can be taken against the purchaser who has not given Form-C and increasing the tax liability? can money suit be initiated? in my case the sum is around 2,00,000 and the increase in tax is around 17,000 due to non submission of Form-C.

Money suit or winding up pettion if it is a company can be initiated. You can not enforce issuance of C form in suit.

Its duty of seller to obtain C form or deposit in lieu of C form at the time of sale. Form C is in the context of inter state sales. This is a form issued by a purchaser to the seller for purchases from another state, at a concessional rate of sales tax. So nothing can be done.

Anyway he(purchaser) owe certain sum to the seller, why a money suit cannot be initiated?

Yes, You can recover the paid tax by filling a recovery suit alongwith all expences. Firstly you send a notice to the purchaser and ask for form C if he fails then pay due taxes and  send notice for payment of such deposited tax by you for no furnishing of form C and also issue a debit note to the purchaser. If he fails then file a recovry suits against the purchaser.

I second with Mr. Saigal but then sending a notice and filing a suit will be cumbersome and an expensive affair.So if you're still carrying on the business with that party, ideally the next bill raised towards any sale can be adjusted against this tax amount.. while meanwhile you pay off the required tax to the govt treasury.

I agree with Mr. A. K. Singal but as Asha Pole says that it is time consuming and expensive process. it is better to settle the matter mutually by issuing a debit note against which customer can claime that amount of money as his business expense. if not sette by the above mention process then only go to legal process like sending notice etc. but better practice is to collect the C Form at the time of sale by which one can avoid these type of problems..

May be the purchaser has not accounted for the purchases for which he is not in a position to obtain Form 'C' from the Sales Tax Dept. Secondly the purchaser might have obtained Form 'C' from the C.T. Dept showing purchases from you as his requirement for Form 'C' and instead of giving the same to you he might have used it other-wise. Both these action warrants departmental action. Hence before contemplating any other action report the matter to the appropriate Sales Tax authority for investigation.

try to get the C Form from the purchaser. now the law permits the seller to produce the C Form even at the appellate stage with sufficient cause for delay. hence you can insist them to issue C Form otherwise you have to pay the difference of tax and the same can be claimed from the purchaser by filing money suit.
