Dear Sirs,
i work as a tax consultant in mangalore. In mangalore the Comm tax dept is divided into two offices ie No 260 and No 270. No 260 is the jurisdiction of industrial area and the No 270 being the jurisdiction of the city area.
one of our client had a business of tyre retreading in the industrial area and thereby he is registered in the jurisdiction of the industrial area ie No 260.
however he later (after 3 years of opening factory in the industrial area) opened a administrative office (head office) in the city, where he keeps all his books of accounts. the Admin office comes within the city and the jurisdiction of it falls in VAT office No 270.
These days our client is facing lot of problem in procuring statutory forms and delivery notes from his present jurisdiction. undue delay is caused in disposing requests for such forms without reasons.
Our client wants to change his jurisdiction from VAT office No 260 to No 270. is it possible to do so as the Head office now falls within the jurisdiction of VAT office No 270. If so wat is the procedure to be followed. I have also gone through the VAT Act which is silent on the issue.
pls reply at the earliest

There is no mention about the procedure in VAT Act but this is a normal procedural matter which is to be decided keeping natural justice in mind. Apply to Commission of your area and get changed his circle.

Send a letter to both of the STO along with the Officer in charge of the department stating that for smooth running of business and day to day operation with the department you need to change your head office from the old address to the new . Your old address should remain as a branch office. Get the VAT registration certificate corrected from the STO. I think your problem will be solved.
