Essay on Juvenile Crime and Punishment -- Argumentative Persuasive Top

Juvenile Crime and Punishment       The punishment of juvenile criminals, specifically those between the ages of 13 and 18, in the event that they commit crimes of murder, is not severe enough. Minors between these critical ages in the teenage life who commit crimes of murder should be prosecuted as adults in all situations and locations.    Teenagers in this age group do kill others, old and young alike. The rate at which juveniles were arrested for murder rose 177 percent between 1978 and 1993 (NBER.org). This shows that there is a need for stopping or at least slowing this trend in homicidal acts. Statistics clearly show that juviniles between the ages of 14 and 17 during the years of 1976 to 1994 are increasing in numbers in the amount of murders they commit. The event in Littleton, Colorado is another example of the fact that teenagers are killing others. Carrying several weapons and setting off homemade bombs, teen-agers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded about 26 others before committing suicide at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999 at 11:21 a.m. (usatoday.com/182). These two young men had hatred in their hearts that no person will be able to explain. They knew what they were doing and wanted to do it well. They did what they were trying to do: kill others. If these two young men had not committed suicide, would they have been prosecuted as adults? We will never know because of the choice they made to take their own lives, but I certainly hope that they would have received the correction they deserved. In this situation, that due punishment would have been a trial as though they were adults who killed other human beings.    What happens when teenagers kill ... ...with his/her threat.    The next step in solving this problem is to contact state governments and let them know that juveniles who commit crimes of murder should be tried as adults in all situations. Politicians should become aware that this is a problem in the society of America and shouldn't be reminded only by tragedies like that which happened in Littleton, Colorado. Call or write state governments and let them know that juveniles should be prosecuted as adults when committing crimes of murder.    Works Cited 1. http://www.nber.org/digest/feb98/w6191.html 2. http://www.usatoday.com/news/index/colo/colo182.htm 3. http://www.usatoday.com/news/index/colo/colo96.htm 4. http://www.tjpc.state.tx.us/reviews/98-1-09.htm (Texas Juvenile Probation Commission) 5. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/nathaniel991021.html#top   

The Picture of Dorian Gray :: Literary Analysis, Wilde

Throughout the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, author Wilde's talks about the influence of Henry that causing the effect of the Henry characterization toward the point of view regard to women, marriage and love. In the text, Dorian exposes to the influence of Henry. For instance, after Sibyl's death incident causing Dorian having an emotional breakdown. At this moment, Henry offering Dorian some suggestions, however, the reflection of Dorian emotion afterward can seem a drastic change from sympathy to indifference toward the incident of his lover sibyl's, thus Henry represented a strong imagine of influences of Dorian. His advise for Dorian can penetrate deeply goes into his mind. One way that Lord Henry influences Dorian by using his advised to manipulates him. For example, "You can come to my sister's box. She has got some smart women with her'' (113). Wilde's implies that Dorian shouldn't regret about Sibyl death, but rather he should get engage of knowing other females from his sister's box. Initially, Dorian views the Sibyl's death as his fault. His presence is the solely reason that behind the death of Sibyl's. Wilde's expresses his view of women when Dorian's mention '' You are shallow and stupid. My God! How mad I was to love with you! What a fool I have been"(102). Wilde view that women without any artistic talent are considered worthless. Another example, Dorian asks forgiveness from Sibyl's before he heard the news about the death of Sibyl's by writing a letter to expresses his absurd action as sorrow, regret and forgive ."He covered page after page of wild words of sorrow and wilder words of pain" (111). The contrast between the Dorian whom have his own thought and the Dorian follow thoroughly what Henry says can be seen as a greater diverge person. Once Dorian established the root of what the Henry tells him, and Dorian will follow the road that causing Basil to view him differently. For example, Dorian responds of '' I met Lady Gwendolen, Harry's sister, for the first time. We were in her box. She is perfectly charming"(122). Wilde's implies, Dorian is a creature that easily controlled by the hand of Henry's and he can change his behavior and action after he's listening to Henry advise of Sibyl's death. As the novel progressive, Basil engages further conversation with Dorian's. He realizes Dorian's is not the same Dorian he knew when Dorian says '"A man who is master of himself can end a

Value Added Tax is a broad-based commodity tax that is levied at multiple stages of production. The concept is akin to excise duty paid by the manufacturer who, in turn, claims a credit on input taxes paid. Excise duty is on manufacture, while VAT is on sale and both work in the same manner, according to the white paper on VAT released by finance minister Chidambaram. The document was drawn up after all states, barring UP, were prepared to implement VAT from April. It is usually intended to be a tax on consumption, hence the provision of a mechanism enabling producers to offset the tax they have paid on their inputs against that charged on their sales of goods and services. Under VAT revenue is collected throughout the production process without distorting any production decisions. WHY VAT IS PREFERRED OVER SALES TAX? While theoretically the amount of revenue collected through VAT is equivalent to sales tax collections at a similar rate, in practice VAT is likely to generate more revenue for government than sales tax since it is administered on various stages on the production – distribution chain. With sales tax, if final sales are not covered by the tax system e. g. due to difficulty of covering all the retailers, particular commodities may not yield any tax. However, with VAT some revenue would have been collected through taxation of earlier transactions, even if final retailers evade the tax net. There is also in-built pressure for compliance and auditing under VAT since it will be in the interest of all who pay taxes to ensure that their eligibility for tax credits can be demonstrated. VAT is also a fairer tax than sales tax as it minimizes or eliminates the problem of tax cascading, which often occurs with sales tax. These are facilitated by the fact that VAT operates through a credit system so that tax is only applied on value added at each stage in the production – distribution chain. At each intermediate stage credit will be given for taxes paid on purchases to set against taxes due on sales. Only at consumption stage where there are no further transactions will there be no tax credits. Lack of input credit facility in sales tax often results in tax on inputs becoming a cost to businesses which are often passed on to consumers. Sales tax is often applied again to the sales tax element of the cost, thus there is a problem of tax on tax. This is not the case with VAT, which makes it a neutral tax as it provides the least disturbance to patterns of production and the generation and use of income. In addition, the audit trail that exists under the VAT system makes it a more effective tax in administration terms than sales tax as it helps with the verification of VAT amounts declared as due. This is made possible by the fact that one person's output is another's input. As with sales tax imports are treated the same way as local goods while exports are zero- rated to avoid anti-export bias. Notwithstanding the advantages mentioned above, it is worth noting that VAT is a considerably complex tax to administer compared with sales tax. It may be difficult to apply to small companies due to difficulties of record keeping and its coverage in agriculture and the services sector may be limited. To cover the high administration costs, VAT rates of 10-20 per cent are generally recommended. The equity impact of the relatively high rates have been a cause for concern as it is possible that the poor spend relatively high proportions of their incomes on goods subject to VAT. Thus the concept of zero VAT rate on some items has been introduced. Difference between VAT and CST Under the CST Act, the tax is collected at one stage of purchase or sale of goods. Therefore, the burden of the full tax bond is borne by only one dealer, either the first or the last dealer. However, under the VAT system, the tax burden would be shared by all the dealers from first to last. Then, such tax would be passed upon the final consumers. Under the CST Act, the tax is levied at a single point. Under the VAT system, the retailers are not subject to tax except for the retail tax. Under the CST Act, general and specific exemptions are granted on certain goods while VAT does not permit such exemptions. Under the CST law, concessional rates are provided on certain taxes. The VAT regime will do away with such concessions as it would provide the full credit on the tax that has been paid earlier. Under VAT law, first, the dealer pays tax on the sale or purchase of goods. The subsequent dealer pays tax on the portion of the value added upon such goods. Thus, the tax burden is shared equally by the last dealer. To illustrate the whole procedure of VAT, an example is as follows: At the first point of sale, the value of goods is Rs. 100. The tax on this is 12. 5%. Therefore, the net VAT would be 12. 5%. At the second change of sale, the sale value is Rs. 120 and the tax thereon is 15%. The tax that is to be paid at every point is 15%. The input tax is 15%. The dealer will get a credit for first change in sale of 2. 5%– i. e. 15% -12. 5%. Therefore, 2. 5% will be the net rate. At the third change of sale, the sale value is Rs. 150 and the tax on this is 18. 75%. At the last stage, the tax paid is 18. 75%. The Input Tax is 18. 75%. Dealer's get a credit for second change in sale? i. e. 18. 75% -15% = 3. 75%. Therefore, 3. 75% would be the net VAT. This means that VAT is paid in the last point tax under the sale tax regime. Who gains? State and Central governments gain in terms of revenue. VAT has in-built incentives for tax compliance – only by collecting taxes and remitting them to the government can a seller claim the offset that is due to him on his purchases. Everyone has an incentive to buy only from registered dealers – purchases from others will not provide the benefit of credit for the taxes paid at the time of purchase. This transparency and in-built incentive for compliance would increase revenues. Industry and trade gain from transparency and reduced need to interact with the tax personnel. For those who have been complying with taxes, VAT would be a boon that reduces the cost of the product to the consumer and boosts competitiveness. VAT would be major blow for tax evaders, both manufacturers who evade excise duty payments and traders who evade sales-tax. What'll be the tax burden? The overall tax burden will be rationalized as it'll be shared by all dealers, and prices, in general, will fall. Moreover, VAT will replace the existing system of inspection by a system of built-in self-assessment by traders and manufacturers. The tax structure will become simple and more transparent and tax compliance will improve significantly. It will also be simpler and offer easy computation and easy compliance. VAT will prevent cascading effect through input rebate and help avoid distortions in trade and economy by ensuring uniform tax rates. Who pays? All dealers registered under VAT and all dealers with an annual turnover of more than Rs 5 lakh will have to register. Dealers with turnovers less than Rs 5 lakh may register voluntarily. How to pay? VAT will be paid along with monthly returns. Credit will be given within the same month for entire VAT paid within the state on purchase of inputs and goods. Credit thus accumulated over any month will be utilized to deduct from the tax collected by the dealer during that month. If the tax credit exceeds the tax collected during a month on sale within the state, the excess credit will be carried forward to the next month. Which goods will be taxable under VAT? All goods except those specifically exempt. In fact, over 550 items will be covered under the new tax regime, of which 46 natural and unprocessed local products would be exempt from VAT. About 270 items, including drugs and medicines, all agricultural and industrial inputs, capital goods and declared goods would attract 4% VAT. But, following opposition from some states, it was decided that states would have option to either levy 4% or totally exempt food grains from VAT but it would be reviewed after one year. Three items – sugar, textile, tobacco – under additional excise duties will not be under VAT regime for one year but existing arrangement would continue. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS It is imperative that policy makers in considering adoption of VAT should be interested in the economy wide impact of this tax. Special emphasis is often placed on its effect on equity, prices and economic growth. This is particularly important because of the potential effects on consumption of certain commodities that have a direct or indirect effect on labour productivity. VAT effect on inflation In considering the introduction of VAT, countries are often concerned that it would cause an inflationary spiral. However there is no evidence to suggest that this is true. A survey of OECD countries that introduced VAT indicated that VAT had little or no effect on prices. In cases where there was an effect it was a one time effect that simply shifted the trend line of the consumer price index (CPI). To guard against any unforeseen price effects the authorities may consider a tighter monetary policy stance at the introduction of VAT. Distribution effects of VAT Value added tax is widely criticized as being regressive with respect to income that is its burden falls heavily on the poor than on the rich. This emanates from the fact that consumption as a share of income falls as income rises. Hence a uniform VAT rate falls heavily on the poor than the rich. This criticism is valid when VAT payments are expressed as a proportion of current income. However if, following the premise that welfare is demonstrated by the level of consumption rather than income, consumption is used as the denominator the impact of VAT would be proportional. A proportional burden would also be demonstrated if lifetime income rather than current income is used. A lifetime income concept considers the fact that many income recipients are only temporarily at lower income brackets as their earnings increase. In order to address the regressivity of VAT the following measures can be taken: ?The VAT itself can be used to differentiate taxation of consumer items that are consumed primarily by the poor such that they pay less or at zero rate or to tax luxury goods at a higher than standard rate. ?VAT exemptions may also be granted on goods and services that are consumed mostly by the poor. ?Equity concerns may also be addressed through other ways, outside the VAT system, such as other tax and spending instruments of government. This could be in the form of lower basic income tax rates on the poor or some pro-poor expenditures of government. The use of multiple rates of VAT has however been widely discouraged for various reasons. These include: ?The fact that sometimes it is almost impossible to differentiate between higher quality expensive products – e. g. food, consumed by the rich and ordinary products consumed by the poor. Thus any concessions extended may tend to benefit the rich much more than the poor. ?Increased costs of VAT administration as a differentiated rate structure brings with it problems of delineating products and interpreting the rules on which rate to use. ?significantly increased costs of tax compliance for small firms, which are sually unable to keep separate records/accounts for sales of differently taxed items. This results in the use of presumptive methods of determining the tax liability, which leads to more difficulties in monitoring the compliance. The higher compliance cost resultant from differentiation of VAT rates may also be regressive with respect to income since smaller firms w ith lower income tend to bear proportionately more of the burden than do larger firms. Exemptions refer to situations where output is not taxed but taxes paid on inputs are not recoverable. The rationale behind exemptions is to reduce negative distributional effects of tax through the effect on incomes. The effects of exemption may be as follows: ?falling of revenues – exemptions break the VAT chain. If exemptions are granted at prior to the final sale, it results in a loss of revenue since value added at the final stage escapes tax. ?Un-recovered taxation of some intermediate goods may lead to producers substituting away from such inputs thus distorting the input choices of the said producers. ?Exemptions may create incentives to â€Å"self supply† i. e. tax avoidance by vertical integration. Exemptions tend to feed on each other giving rise to a phenomenon called â€Å"exemption creep†. This arises from the fact that each exemption gives rise to pressures on further exemption. For example creating an exemption to reduce the tax burden on a particular commodity or goods may lead to increased pressure for exemption or zero rating of inputs used for the production of such a commodity. Based on the above, it is important that care is taken when introducing exemptions in order to avoid distortions in the production process as well as to minimize revenue loss resulting from such distortions. Given the fact that the primary purpose of VAT is to raise government revenue in an efficient manner and with as little distortions of economic activity as possible, distribution effects are perhaps better addressed by other forms of tax and government expenditure policies which can often be better targeted at these aims. VAT effect on economic growth Economic growth can be facilitated through investment by both government and the private sector. Savings by both parties are required in order to finance investment in a non-inflationary manner. Compared to other broadly based taxes such as income tax VAT is neutral with respect to choices on whether to consume now or save for future consumption. Although VAT reduces the absolute return on saving it does not reduce the net rate of return on saving. Income tax reduces the net rate of return as both the amount saved as well as the return on that saving are subject to tax. In this regard VAT may be said to be a superior tax in promoting economic growth than income tax. Since VAT does not influence investment decisions on firms, by increasing their costs, its effects on investment can be said to be neutral. Features of VAT 1. Rate of Tax VAT proposes to impose two types of rate of tax mainly: a. 4% on declared goods or the goods commonly used. b. 10-12% on goods called Revenue Neutral Rates (RNR). There would be no fall in such remaining goods. c. Two special rates will be imposed– 1% on silver or gold and 20% on liquor. Tax on petrol, diesel or aviation turbine fuel are proposed to be kept out from the VAT system as they would be continued to be taxed, as presently applicable by the CST Act. 2. Uniform Rates in the VAT system, certain commodities are exempted from tax. The taxable commodities are listed in the respective schedule with the rates. VAT proposes to keep these rates uniform in all the states so the goods sold or purchased across the country would suffer the same tax rate. Discretion has been given to the states when it comes to finalizing the RNR along with the restrictions. This rate must not be less than 10%. This will ensure By doing this that there will be level playing fields to avoid the trade diversion in connection with the different states, particularly in neighboring states 3. No concession to new industries Tax Concessions to new industries is done away with in the new VAT system. This was done as it creates discrepancy in investment decision. Under the new VAT system, the tax would be fair and equitable to all. 4. Adjustment of the tax paid on the goods purchased from the tax payable on the goods of sale All the tax, paid on the goods purchased within the state, would be adjusted against the tax, payable on the sale, whether within the state or in the course of interstate. In case of export, the tax, paid on purchase outside India, would be refunded. In case of the branch transfer or consignment of sale outside the state, no refund would be provided. 5. Collection of tax by seller/dealer at each stage. The seller/dealer would collect the tax on the full price of the goods sold and shows separately in the sell invoice issued by him 6. VAT is not cascading or additive though the tax on the goods sold is collected at each stage, it is not cascading or additive because the net effect would be as follows: – the tax, previously paid on the sale of goods, would be fully adjusted. It will be like levying tax on goods, sold in the last state or at retail stage. What's the biggest advantage? The biggest benefit of VAT is that it could unite India into a large common market. This will translate to better business policy. Companies can start optimizing purely on logistics of their operations, and not on based on tax-minimization. Lorries need not wait at check-points for days; they can zoom down the highways to their destinations. Reduced transit times and lower inventory levels will boost corporate earnings. Following are the some more advantage of VAT: – 1. Simplification Under the CST Act, there are 8 types of tax rates- 1%, 2%, 4%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 20% and 25%. However, under the present VAT system, there would only be 2 types of taxes 4% on declared goods and 10-12% on RNR. This will eliminate any disputes that relate to rates of tax and classification of goods as this is the most usual cause of litigation. It also helps to determine the relevant stage of the tax. This is necessary as the CST Act stipulates that the tax levies at the first stage or the last stage differ. Consequently, the question of which stage of tax it falls under becomes another reason for litigation. Under the VAT system, tax would be levied at each stage of the goods of sale or purchase. . Adjustment of tax paid on purchased goods Under the present system, the tax paid on the manufactured goods would be adjusted against the tax payable on the manufactured goods. Such adjustment is conditional as such goods must either be manufactured or sold. VAT is free from such conditions. 3. Further such adjustment of the purchased goods would depend on the amount of tax that is payable. VAT would not have such restrictions. CST would not have the provisions on refund or carry over upon such goods except in case of export goods or goods, manufactured out of the country or sale to registered dealer. Similarly, on interstate sale on tax-paid goods, no refund would be admissible. 4. Transparency The tax that is levied at the first stage on the goods or sale or purchase is not transparent. This is because the amount of tax, which the goods have suffered, is not known at the subsequent stage. In the VAT system, the amount of tax would be known at each and every stage of goods of sale or purchase. 5. Fair and Equitable VAT introduces the uniform tax rates across the state so that unfair advantages cannot be taken while levying the tax. 6. Procedure of simplification Procedures, relating to filing of returns, payment of tax, furnishing declaration and assessment are simplified under the VAT system so as to minimize any interface between the tax payer and the tax collector. 7. Minimize the Discretion the VAT system proposes to minimize the discretion with the assessing officer so that every person is treated alike. For example, there would be no discretion involved in the imposition of penalty, late filing of returns, non-filing of returns, late payment of tax or non payment of tax or in case of tax evasion. Such system would be free from all these harassment 8. Computerization the VAT proposes computerization which would focus on the tax evaders by generating Exception Report. In a large number of cases, no processing or scrutiny of returns would be required as it would free the tax compliant dealers from all the harassment which is so much a part of assessment. The management information system, which would form a part of integral computerization, would make the tax department more efficient and responsive. Value Added Tax IN Maharashtra Quick Flash Back Sales tax was first introduced in India in the then Bombay Province as early as March 1938 where a tax was imposed on sale of tobacco within certain urban and suburban areas. In the year 1946, a general sales tax was introduced levying sales tax at the last stage of sale of goods. The Bombay Sales Tax Act, 1959 introduced in 1959 underwent many changes thereafter and in July 1981, first point tax was introduced wherein goods were classified into three main schedules, broadly covering tax free goods, intermediate products and finished goods. The BST Act was repealed and Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, 2002 came into force w. e. f. 1st April, 2005 to usher in the progressive value added tax system in place of the old sales tax system. VAT is a progressive and transparent system of taxation which eliminates the cascading impact of multiple taxation through a multipoint taxation and set-off principle. It promotes transparency, compliance and equity and therefore, is both dealer friendly and consumer friendly. VAT being a multi point tax, envisages an increase in the number of dealers and is based on the concept of self-assessment and self-compliance. It is therefore, inevitable that the Sales Tax Department transforms itself into a dealer friendly, focused and dynamic department to cater to the ever increasing expectations of both the Government and the Trade & Industry. Sales Tax Department has taken up the challenge to transform their selves and be available for assisting the dealers in complying with the provisions of the law. They are in the process of installing a state-wide networked IT system to computerise entire tax administration and hope to provide online service to the dealers in due course. They are also realigning their organisational structure to meet the challenges of the new system and stakeholders' expectations. Part1 – Introduction Background Maharashtra is one of the 21 States which have introduced the Value Added Tax (VAT) system of taxation from 1st April 2005. With the introduction of VAT, the Sales Tax Department has moved to a globally recognized sales taxation system that has been adopted by more than 130 countries. The design of Maharashtra State VAT is generally guided by the best international practices with regard to legal framework, as well as operating procedures. Another key factor in preparation of the design of State level VAT is the national consensus on certain issues. The consensus has been arrived at through the discussions in the Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers on implementation of State level VAT. On 1st April 2005, VAT replaced the single point sales tax. Single point sales tax had a number of disadvantages, primarily that of double taxation. VAT is a modern and progressive taxation system that avoids double taxation. In addition to offering the possibility of a set-off of tax paid on purchases, VAT has other advantages for both business and government. It eliminates cascading impact of double taxation and promotes economic efficiency. It is primarily a self-policing, self-assessment system with more trust put on dealers. It provides the potential for a stronger manufacturing base and more competitive export pricing. It is invoice based, and as a result it offers a better financialsystem with less scope for error. It has an improved control, mechanism resulting in better compliance. It widens the, tax base and promotes equity. VAT in Maharashtra is levied under a legislation known as the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act (MVAT Act), supported by Maharashtra Value Added Tax Rules (MVAT Rules). VAT is levied on sale of goods including intangible goods. The meaning of â€Å"goods† for VAT purposes â€Å"Goods† means every kind of moveable property including goods of incorporeal and intangible nature but there are some exclusion, such as newspapers, actionable claims, money, shares and securities and lottery tickets. Businesses engaged in. the buying and selling of goods within the scope of the VAT law are referred to as dealers. The meaning of ‘sale' for VAT purposes A transaction of sale can be a: normal sale of goods; sale of goods under hire-purchase system; eemed sale of goods used I supplied in the course of execution of works contract; deemed sale of goods given on lease. The rate of tax applicable to the goods sold under various classes of sales is uniform. However, in respect of normal sales of goods and deemed sales of goods under works contract and specified deemed sale of goods given on lease, the Act provides for an optional method for dischar ging tax liability by way of composition. Being so, the tax liability has to be determined with reference to the option exercised by the dealer for discharging tax liability. Businesses covered by VAT The VAT system embraces all businesses in the production and supply chain, from manufacture through to retail. VAT is collected at each stage in the chain when value is added to goods. 1t applies to al1 businesses, including importers, exporters, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, works contractors and lessors. Part 2 – Registration under VAT Rules for registration If a dealer's annual turnover exceeds the below mentioned threshold, then it must register with the local office of the Sales Tax Department. All Figures in Rs. Category Annual Turnover of Sales Turnover of sales or purchase of taxable goods not less than Fees payable on registration Importer 1,00,000 10,000 100 Others 5,00,000 10,000 100 If the dealer's turnover is less than the above threshold, then they are not liable to collect and pay VAT. However, if a dealer wishes to avail the benefits of being a registered dealer, then they may apply for voluntary registration by paying a fee of Rs. 5,000/ -. Benefits of being a registered dealer As a registered dealer, they are entitled to: ollect VAT on the sales; claim set-off of tax (input tax credit) paid on purchases; Issue tax invoices and, be competitive. Effective date of registration The effective date of registration, that is, the date front which a dealer may charge VAT on sales; will depend on the date they first become liable to pay VAT. This date will be determined as follows: a) New businesses: If a dealer is not registered because their annual turnover is less tha n the threshold; their liability to account for VAT starts from the date they cross the threshold. ) Existing businesses: If a dealer took over an existing business that is registered for VAT, then they will be liable to pay tax on sales from the date they took over the business. c) Voluntary registration: If a dealer is registered on a voluntary basis, then he will be liable to account for VAT from the date shown on the certificate of registration. d) Late registration: If a dealer's turnover has exceeded the appropriate threshold but they have applied late for registration, then he can charge VAT on his sales only after they are registered, i. e. from the date shown on the certificate of registration. Further, having crossed the threshold, it is an offence to be engaged in business as a dealer without a certificate of registration Certificate of registration A dealer should prominently display the certificate and hologram, or a copy of the certificate and hologram, at each place w here they carry can on their business. If a dealer has more than one place of business, then Sales Tax Office will provide them, upon their request, one copy of the certificate of registration and hologram for each additional place of business. If a dealer loses his / her certificate of registration or hologram, or it is accidentally destroyed or defaced, then they may obtain a duplicate copy of the certificate of hologram from their sales tax office. The certificate of registration and hologram is personal to the dealer to whom it is issued and is non-transferable. Changes to business circumstances If, following dealer register, there are any amendments to the details they can be reported while applying for registration, it must done within 60 days of the change, inform us in writing. Where the amendment involves a: change in the name of the business; hange in the constitution of the business without dissolution of the firm; change in the trustees of a Trust; change in the guardianship of a ward; change in the Karta of a Hindu Undivided Family; conversion of Private limited Company to a Public limited Company; change in the place of business; addition of new place of business; formation of a partnership with regard to the business, an application made by a dealer for insolvency or liquidation of their business; an application made against dealer's business for insolvency or liquidation; opening or closing of a bank account; A dealer will not need to make a fresh application for registration. However, the communication to the Registering Authority concerned should be made within sixty days of the change or occurrence of the event. Cancellation of registration A dealer will be liable to pay VAT while their registration is effective. If however, their turnover falls below the threshold, he may choose to apply for cancellation of his registration. However, he should continue to collect and pay VAT in the normal way until his registration is formally cancelled. Alternatively, they may be allowed the registration to continue. If a dealer: discontinue the business; dispose of or sell or transfer the business; A dealer must inform the Sales Tax Department within 30 days of the event. In case of disposal or sale of business, their successor will need to apply for a fresh registration certificate. For cancellation of registration a dealer should submit form 103 which is available with the local sales tax office. It can also be downloaded from the website www. vat. maharashtra. gov. in If the Sales Tax Department cancels the dealer's registration, they must return the Certificate of Registration The cancellation of their certificate does not affect their liability to pay any tax, interest or penalties in respect of any period prior to the date of cancellation of their registration. The obligations of a registered dealer Following are the registration, which dealer's are obliged to: display prominently their certificate of registration and hologram in their place of business, and a copy of the certificate and hologram in each of the other places where they carry on their business; inform their sales tax office of any changes in the details previously reported to the sales tax office; collect VAT on all sales at appropriate rates; alculate the tax due and submit correct, complete and self consistent returns and pay the amount of tax due on or before the due dates; issue tax invoice / bill or cash memorandum to all customers; maintain adequate records and retain them for a period of five years from the end of the tax year to which they relate; extend co-operation to the officer s of the Sales Tax Department at dealer's business premises and provide all assistance to them to discharge their duties. Part 3 – Explaining VAT How VAT works When a dealer sell goods, the sale price is made up of two elements; the selling price of the goods and the tax on the sale. The tax is payable to the State Government. The tax payable on sales is to be calculated on the selling price. The tax paid on purchases supported by a, valid tax invoice is generally available as set-off (input, tax credit) while discharging the tax liability on sales. Example The following example shows how the VAT works through the chain from manufacturer to retailer. Company A buys iron ore and other consumables and manufactures stainless steel utensils; Partnership firm B buys the utensils in bulk from Company A and polishes them; shopkeeper C buys some of the utensils and purchases packing, material from vendor D, packages them and sells the packed utensils for the public. (The sale and purchase figures shown in the example are excluding tax) Particulars Amount (Rs. ) VAT @ 4% (Rs. ) Company A Cost of iron are and consumables 50,000 2000 Sales of unpolished stainless steel utensils 1,50,000 Value added 1,00,000 Company A is liable to pay VAT on Rs. 1,50,000/- @ 4% 000 Less Set Off (2000) Net VAT amount to pay with the Return (Note: Tax invoice issued by Company A will show sale price as Rs. 1,50,000/- tax as Rs. 6,000/-. Therefore, the total invoice value will be Rs. 1,56,000/-) 4000 Partnership B Purchases unpolished stainless steel utensils. 1,50,000 Sales polished stainless steel utensils 1,80,000 Value added 30,000 Partnership B is liable t o pay V AT on Rs. 1,80,000 at 4% 7,200 But can claim set off of tax paid on purchases (6,000) Net VAT amount to pay with the Return 1200 Shopkeeper C Purchases polished stainless steel utensils 1,80,000 Packing material 5,000 Total Purchases 1,85,000 Sales 2,25,000 Value added 40,000 Shopkeeper C is liable to pay V AT on Rs. 2,25,000 @ 4% 9,000 Set off of tax paid on purchases (Rs. 7,200 + Rs. 200 of packing material) 7,400 Net VAT amount to pay with the Return 1,600 Vendor D Tax paid costs Nil Sales 5,000 Value Added 5,000 Vendor D is liable to pay VAT on Rs. 5,000 @ 4% 200 The VAT due on the value added through the chain, i. e. , 4% on Rs. 2,25,000 is : 9,000 The State Government received the tax in stages. The payments of tax were as follows: Particulars Amount (Rs. ) Suppliers of Company A 2,000 Company A 4,000 Partnership B 1,200 Shopkeeper C 1,600 Vendor D 200 Total 9,000 Thus, through a chain of tax on sale price and set off on purchase price, the cascading impact of tax is totally eliminated. Since set-off of tax on purchases is given only on purchases from registered dealers where tax is collected separately, dealer's purchases from unregistered dealers, imports, inter-state purchases and purchases from registered dealers without separate tax collection are not entitled to set-off. In practice, the tax is finally borne by the ultimate consumer, who is not a registered dealer, in this case, people who buy utensils from the shopkeeper C. Rates of value added tax There are two main rates of VAT 4% and 12. 5%. The goods are grouped into five schedules as under: Schedule Rate of tax Illustrative Items A 0% Vegetables, milk, eggs, bread B 1% Precious metals and precious stones and their jewellery C 4% Raw materials, notified industrial inputs, notified information technology products and a few essential items D 20% and above Liquor, petrol, diesel etc E 12. 5% Other than items specified in schedules A, B, C & D. (The list is illustrative and not exhaustive. Please refer to the schedules for details) Difference between tax free goods and exempt sales It is sometimes confusing to have goods that are tax free and sales that are exempt. Both result in no VAT being charged, so what is the difference? Tax free goods do not attract tax at any stage of sale or in any type of transaction, whereas, exempted sales are certain types of transactions, viz. , export sales which are exempt from tax. Composition schemes Certain dealers may find it difficult to keep detailed records for claiming set-off. For such dealers, a simpler and optional method of accounting for VAT has been introduced. This method is the composition scheme. It may be noted that composition scheme is not meant to be a tax concession scheme but only a simplification of tax calculation and payment system. Tax payable by dealers opting for composition in lieu of VAT The following classes of dealers are eligible for option to pay tax under composition: Resellers selling at retail, i. e. , to consumers, Restaurants, eating houses, hotel (excluding hotels having gradation of ‘Four Star' and above), refreshment rooms, boarding establishments, clubs and caterers, Bakers, Dealers in second-hand passenger motor vehicles and Works contractors Dealers engaged in the business of providing mandap, pandal, shamiana. Accordingly, if the dealer has opted for payment of tax liability under composition, the tax liability has to be determined in terms of the guidelines given in the relevant Notification in this regard. Apart from the terms and conditions governing each of the composition schemes, the Notification explains the methodology for computation of turnover liable to tax and the rate of composition payable. A dealer can opt for the composition option at the beginning of the financial year and has to continue to be a composition dealer at least till the end of that financial year. If dealer wishes to switch, over to normal VAT, he can do so only at the beginning of the next financial year. However, a new dealer can opt for composition at the time of registration. In respect of works contract, the contractor can choose to discharge tax liability under composition option. Moreover, such an option can be exercised by the contractor on contract to contract basis. Part 4 – Calculating tax liability In, order to calculate how much tax a dealer has to pay, he must, first determine his turnover of sales and turnover of purchases. The second stage is to ascertain the amount of tax due for payment. Calculating turnover of sales and purchases The turnover of sales is the total of the amounts received or receivable (excluding VAT charged separately) in respect, of the sale of goods, less the amount refunded to a purchaser in respect of goods returned, within six months of the date of the sale. Similarly, the turnover of purchases is the total of the amounts paid or payable (excluding VAT charged separately) in respect of the purchase of goods less (the amounts repaid to dealer in respect of goods they return, within six months of the date of purchase. Credit notes and debit notes. If the sale price, or the purchase price, of any goods is varied and either a credit note or a debit note is issued, then the credit note or the debit note, as the case may be, should show separately, the tax and the price. be accounted for in the period in which the appropriate entries are made in their books of accounts. Special cases Auctioneers If dealer is an auctioneer, then they must include in their turnover, the price of the goods they auction for their principal Hotels There are special rules for hotels and other establishments that provide boarding and lodging for an inclusive amount. The rules provide a formula to enable them to calculate their turnover of sales for meals (food and beverages) which they provide. The supply of food in a restaurant also includes an element of service. But the full amount charged is the sale price for the purposes of calculating turnover and tax. Works contracts VAT applies only to the sale of goods. Supply of services is not liable to VAT. Works contracts are deemed sales where both, goods and services are provided in a transaction and cannot be separated. A works contract may involve the creation of immoveable property, e. g. a house, a factory or a bridge. Some other examples of works contracts are photography, repairs & maintenance etc. To calculate the amount a dealer should include it in their turnover of sales, so that they may deduct it from the total contract price, the costs of labour and service charges. amount paid to sub-contractors. charges for planning and designing, and any architect's fees. hiring charges for machinery and tools. cost of consumables, such as, water, gas and electricity. Dealer's administrative costs relating to labour and services and any other similar expenses. any profit element that relates to the supply of labour and services. Alternatively, in lieu of the deductions as above, a dealer may choose to discharge the liability arising on works contracts by referring to the table prescribed in the rules. If the dealer finds that it is too complicated to calculate the deductions, then they may opt for a composition scheme for any works contract. Sales and purchases not liable to tax under VAT The VAT law specifically excludes from value added tax all imports, exports and inter-state transactions. These transactions are covered by the CST Act. Similarly, transactions that take place outside Maharashtra are not within the scope of MVAT Act. Point of levy in certain cases Hire purchase Where there is a hire purchase agreement or an agreement for sale by installments, the date of the sale is deemed to be the date of the delivery of goods. This is despite the fact that legal ownership of the goods only passes to the buyer after payment of the final installment. If the hire-purchase agreement specifies the interest component then in calculating the sales price, dealer should disregard the interest component included in the agreement. Calculating the amount of VAT due on sales Dealer should also make some adjustments to the total turnover of sales to arrive at the amount on which tax is due. From the total sales one should deduct the total of exports and inter-State sales. the total of sales of goods that are tax free, and branch / consignment transfers to locations in Maharashtra as well as other States. the tax collected. To calculate the tax due, dealer should start allocating their turnover of sales in the return period (net of the above deductions) to the rates of tax they have been charged. They should also ensure that the correct tax rates are applied. The information should be readily available from their records. This gives the total of sales tax due. Calculating the turnover of purchases Records will provide the total figure, but they may not have paid VAT on all their purchases. They must now deduct the total value of imports from out of India. inter-State purchases. purchases of tax free goods. direct purchases from exempted units under the Package Scheme of Incentives. consignment transfers, and local purchased from unregistered dealers. local purchases from registered dealers not supported by tax invoice. The resulting figure represents purchases against tax invoices from registered dealers. Calculating the amount of set off due (VAT paid on purchases) This s the next stage of tax calculation. At this stage VAT is charged on total purchases. Dealer must, however, make some adjustments to this amount for, in certain cases, the full set off of the VAT paid on purchases is not available. Adjustments to tax available for set off If dealer's purchases include goods, used as fuel, or for the manufacture of any tax-free goods, or as packaging for tax-free goods, this go ods should be sold. Then a dealer must calculate the value of those items and deduct tax @ 4% of the corresponding purchase price from the amount otherwise available for set off. Not applicable to PSI dealers other than the New Package Scheme of Incentives for Tourism Projects, 1999 and also to manufacturers of tax-free sugar or fabrics covered by Entry A 45 and where such goods are sold in the course of export falling under section 5 of the CST Act, 1956). Similarly, if the goods are stock transferred by way of branch / consignment transfer to a place outside the State, deduct tax @ 4% (1 % in respect of goods covered by Schedule B) of the corresponding purchase price from the amount otherwise available for set off. Dealer must also make further adjustments as follows: – If they have been used any goods (other than capital assets) as part of a works contract for which they have been opted for payment composition @ 8% on the total contract value, they must also deduct 36% of the amount from the set off otherwise available (4% of purchase price in respect of construction contracts for which they have been opted for payment of composition @ 5% on total contract value). Where a dealer's sales are less than 50 % of their gross receipts, then they can claim set off only on those purchases of goods or packing materials effected in that year where the corresponding goods are sold within six months of the date of purchase or consigned within the said period to another State by way of stock transfers. In respect of office equipment, furniture or fixtures which have been treated as capital assets, a dealer should reduce set-off otherwise entitled by an amount equal to 4% of the purchase price. If a dealer is the retailer of liquor vendor and its actual sale prices are less than the Maximum Retail Price, there is a special formula for calculating the amount of the adjustment. Effectively this means that, if a dealer sells at 75% of the MRP then they can claim set off only to the extent of 75% of the tax paid. A dealer can not claim any set off for the tax paid on any purchases that remain unsold on the date when business discontinues. All this information should be available from their records, including tax invoices and bills or cash memorandum they have issued, and the tax invoices they have received. Set off not available There are various items on which set-off is not available such as, goods of incorporeal or intangible character other than those specified, passenger motor vehicles, motor spirits, crude oil, building material used for construction etc. Conditions for claiming set off A dealer can claim set off only for VAT paid on purchase if they have a valid tax invoice for that transaction and they had maintain account of purchases showing the specified details. Tax payable The amount of set-off admissible can be adjusted against tax payable. The amount of net tax payable is the total of sales tax collected on sales less the set-off available. Refund cases If the amount of set-off admissible during the period is more than the amount of tax payable, then dealer's return would reflect a balance refundable to the dealer. The amount of set-off can be more than the tax payable for a variety of reasons, such as Inputs are taxable at higher rate as compared with the rate of tax on output. Outputs are tax-free goods while inputs carry tax. Outputs are export sales. Outputs are CST sales which are taxable at the concessional rate of CST. Manufactured goods or trading goods are transferred to branches outside the State or are sent on consignment transfers. Apart from part of the admissible set-off which can remain unutilized, excess credit can be on account of: unutilised portion of tax deducted at source or refund payment order or ad-hoc payment made is more than tax payable. Whatever may be the reason for credit in excess of tax due and payable during a tax period, dealers are eligible to claim refund of such excess credit. For the purpose of granting refund, dealers have been classified under two categories viz. a) specified class of dealers and b) other dealers Refund to specified class of dealers Specified classes of dealers are : – Exporters exporting out of the country or dealers selling to an exporter against form H. A unit set-up in SEZ or STP or EHTP or a 100% EOU unit. These units have to be certified by the Commissioner of Sales Tax. An Entitlement Certificate holder availing of the benefit ofincentives under the Package Scheme of Incentives (PSI). Specified class of dealers and the dealers who have made a sale in the course of inter-State trade or commerce and in the return he has shown any amount to be refundable are eligible to claim refund in each of the returns filed by them. Full amount of excess credit can be claimed as refund due for the return period. The dealer eligible to claim refund has to file refund application in Form 501. The application has to be filed with the Refund Branch. The Refund Branch may ask for Bank Guarantee and any relevant information for checking correctness of refund claimed. Normally, refund would be granted within one month from the receipt of Bank Guarantee or within three months from the date of receipt of refund application in Form 501, or as the case may be, the date of receipt of the additional information, whichever is later. Refund to other dealers Other dealers are not eligible to get refund in each of the return filed. They are required to carry forward excess credit to the next return within the same financial year and claim refund of excess credit in the return for the period ending March. The dealer claiming refund in March return has to make refund application in Form 501. The application has to be filed with the Refund Section. Normally, refund would be granted within six months of the end of the year to which the return relates. However, refund would be granted within six months to the new dealer's at the end of the year succeeding the said year. Audit of refund claims The refund granted to dealer would be subject to audit by the Refund Audit Section. The audit may be taken up before granting the refund or after the refund is granted. Normally, refunds made against Bank Guarantee would be taken up for audit after the refund has been granted. During the course of the audit, the audit team will check dealer's eligibility to claim refund and the correctness of the amount of refund claimed by them. Interest on delayed refund No interest is payable on the refund due to a dealer as per returns filed by a dealer. However, if granting of refund is delayed beyond the above mentioned periods, dealer is eligible for interest for delayed payment. Simple interest at the rate of 6% per year would be payable for the period from the due date to the date of refund. Some tips for getting timely refund Dealer's claim of refund would be processed faster if: – They had filed the return with the Returns branch as per the prescribed time schedule. The return filed by the dealer's should be correct, complete and self-consistent. They should have claimed refund as per the appropriate periodicity. The amount of refund due to them should be computed correctly. Refund application in Form 501 is filed with the Refunds branch in time. They should have promptly furnished Bank Guarantee and other details when called for. They should keep ready all the documents and records for audit. They should file the return for a period for which they are required to file. Thus, if they are required to file a quarterly return, but they file a monthly return, then the refund would not be granted for the monthly return. In order to be eligible for refund, they would have to file a quarterly return. Part 5 – Filing a return and paying the tax VAT is a self-assessment system and dealer's are expected to make self assessment for a given tax period and declare their VAT liability by filing returns. The returns have to be filed in the prescribed form and by the specified dates. Further, they are also required to pay the tax due as per the return filed. In Maharashtra, return form is return-cum-chalan. As such, filing of returns along-with payment of tax on or before the due date at the notified bank would be considered as sufficient compliance. However, where any amount of tax including interest or penalty is due as per a fresh or revised return, then they should first pay such amount in Government Treasury and file the return in the local office of Sales Tax Department along with a self attested copy of the chalan. If no payment is due or a refund is claimed as per the return, they are also required to file the return in the local office of the Sales Tax Department. Return forms The return forms prescribed are as follows. Form No. To Be Used By 221 All VAT dealers other than dealers executing works contract, dealers engaged in leasing business, composition dealers (including dealers opting for composition only for part of the activity of the business), PSI dealers and notified Oil Companies. 222 All composition dealers whose entire turnover is under composition (excluding works contractors opting for composition and dealers opting for composition only for part of the activity of the business). 223 VA T dealers who are also in the business of executing works contracts, leasing and dealers opting for composition only for part of the activity of the business. 224 PSI dealers holding Entitlement Certificate (Transactions by PSI dealers relating to the business of executionof works contracts, leasing, frading and composition only for part of the activity of the business to be included in a separate return in Form 223). 25 Notified Oil Companies (Transactions by OIL Companies relating to the business of execution of works contracts, leasing and composition only for part of the activity of the business to be included in a separate return in Form 223).

Please ensure that the return for a tax period c overs all the transactions of sales, purchases, branch transfers received, branch transfers made etc. Further, they must ensure that all the columns of the return are duly filled in and are clearly legible. If a particular column is not relevant, please do not leave it blank but mention† not applicable†. The return filed by them must be correct, complete and self-consistent. Time schedule for filing returns Periodicity of filing returns is as follows: – Retailers who have opted for composition should file six-monthly returns. Newly registered dealers should file quarterly returns until the end of the year in which they first register. All package scheme dealers should file quarterly returns. All other dealers should file returns as given below :- Dealers whose tax liability in the previous year was less than Rs. 1,OO,OOOj- (Rs. 1lakh) or whose entitlement for refund was less than Rs. 10,OO,OOOj- (Rs. 10lakh) should file six-monthly returns. Dealers whose tax liability in the previous year was more. than Rs. 10,00,000- (Rs. 10lakh) or whose entitlement for refund was more than Rs. l,00,00,000- (Rs1crore) should file monthly returns. All other dealers should file quarterly returns. Filing and payment dates for return-cum-chalan are as follows: Return Frequency Filing / Payment date Monthly 21 days from the end of the return period Quarterly 21 days from the end of the return period Six Monthly 21 days from the end of the return period Scrutiny of returns filed The return filed by the dealer should be correct, complete, and self-consistent in every respect. The Sales Tax Office will check the return to ensure that there are no obvious errors in consistencies or contradictions in calculations. If this check reveals discrepancies, then the dealer's will be advised and invited to submit a fresh return. The department will issue this defect notice within four months of receiving their return. Then they should file their fresh return within 30 days of the notice. If they fail to do so, it will be deemed not to have filed the return within the time allowed, and will so liable to a penalty charge. At the same time, as the department issues the defect notice, dealers will be sent a ‘show cause' notice, explaining that a penalty may be imposed. Offences relating to filing of returns and payment of tax The following are the offences liable for interest / penalty / prosecution etc. Short- payment / non- payment of tax due Failure to file returns Delay in filing returns Knowingly furnishing false returns Filing of incorrect or incomplete or inconsistent returns Consequences for filing a return, which is not correct, complete and self-consistent Each of the returns filed by them is checked to confirm that the same is correct, complete and self-consistent. In case the return is defective, a defect notice is issued by the Returns Branch pointing out the error or the omission. On receipt of the notice, it is required to file fresh return which is correct, complete and self-consistent and should also pay differential tax due, if any. The return filed by them in response to defect notice is termed as Fresh Return and the dealer should indicate so on the return in the space provided for the same. Fresh return rectifying the defects has to be filed within the time limit specified in the defect notice. Failure to comply with the notice would be construed as non-filing of return and consequently, a unilateral (ex-parte) assessment order would be passed. Failure to file a return If dealer's fails to file a return within the time allowed, then they are committing an offence and, in addition to any tax and interest that may be due, which is liable to a penalty. As no return has been filed by them, a unilateral assessment without giving them a notice will be made. This unilateral assessment order is non-appealable. However, they can get this assessment order cancelled only by filing the return and paying the tax and interest due as per the return. For this purpose they should file application in Form 304 and submit to Returns Branch. Paying the tax due All the dealer's or the person must file their return and should pay the tax due, in a bank that is authorized to accept the return. If they are required to file a revised return, and the tax due exceeds the amount which they had paid when submitted earlier form, then they should pay the balance amount which is due now. The bank will give them an acknowledgement of the receipt of their return and payment. If there is any doubt that where to file the return and pay the tax due, then can ask to their local sales tax office. Revised return Subsequent to filing the return, in case dealer notices any error or omission, then they can file a revised return before expiry of eight months from the end of the financial year to which the return relates or before a otice for assessment is served, whichever is earlier. Such return should be accompanied by payment of tax and interest, if any. In case the return filed by them is a revised return, then they should indicate it on the return form in the space provided for the same. The various types of returns and their description have been summarised as under: Type Of Return Descr iption Original The return filed by the dealer originally along with the payment in the bank. Fresh The return filed by the dealer after the department issues a defect notice. Revised The return filed by them to correct any error or omission. Filing of returns in special cases The first return for the newly registered dealer is for the period up to the end of the quarter containing the date of its registration. Example 1 The turnover exceeds the threshold on 1st November. Then they should apply for registration, which is granted on 30th November and the date of effect is 1st November. The first return is for the quarter ended 31st December covering the period 1st, April to 31st December; and the second return is for the quarter ending following 31st March. Example 2 If turnover exceeds the threshold on 1st November. But dealer apply late for registration i. e. on 10th December, and the registration is granted on l0th December, then the date of effect registration is 10th December i. e. , Date of application. The first return is due for the quarter ending on 31st December (covering. the period 10th December to 31st December).. Filing of return in case of cancellation of registration Dealer's registration may be cancelled if they discontinue, transfer or sell the business. They may also choose to cancel their registration if their turnover falls below the threshold limit. Example If dealer's file the returns quarterly and their, last return was for the quarter ending 30th September. If a dealer closes the business on 15th November, then their final return will be for, the period 1st October to 15th November. The return should be filed within one month, that is, before 15th December. Dealer under the Package Scheme of Incentives If dealer's hold a Certificate of Entitlement granting an exemption from payment of tax or deferment of payment of tax, it should be for the unit which is eligible for the incentives, file a quarterly return, in Form 224. They must continue to file quarterly return till the Certificate of Entitlement remains valid. When the validity of the Certificate of Entitlement ends, then dealer must file: – a quarterly return, in form 224, for the period from the first day of the quarter in which the event occurs to the date the Certificate of Entitlement ceases, and a quarterly return, in form 221 or 222 or 223 as the case may be, for the remainder of that financial year. For succeeding years, the period and frequency of the returns will be determined on the basis of the tax liability or entitlement for refund of the preceding financial year. Filing multiple returns Dealers are required to file a single return at its principal place of business for all its businesses or places of business. If they desire to file separate returns for separate places / divisions, then they must apply for Form 211 for permission to file multiple returns. Dealer should ensure that correct, complete and self-consistent returns are filed at all the locations in the State. Tax deduction at source by an employer in a works contract The works contractor is obliged to pay the tax on the works contracts executed by him. However, the employer i. e. he notified person who has engaged the works contractor is obliged to deduct tax at the specified rate from the amount payable to the works contractor, excluding the amount of tax, if any, separately charged or service tax levied by the contractor.. The tax amount so deducted and paid to the Government treasury IS considered as a payment made on behalf of the works contractor. The employer is required to d eposit this tax and issue a certificate of tax deduction at source in the prescribed format based on which the works contractor is allowed to take the credit of the same while discharging his tax liability. Part 6 – Records and accounts Keeping records Proper records are an essential part of effective management and control of their business. Dealers are required by law to keep a true and accurate account of the transactions effected by them. This will also help them to correctly quantify their tax liability or refunds, as the case may be. They should keep all their accounts, registers and documents relating to their stocks of goods, purchases, sales and deliveries of goods, at their place of business. If they wish to keep them at a different location they may do so, but only if they have the permission of the Commissioner of Sales Tax. Nature of records Normally, this department will not expect them to keep any special records for VAT purposes. However, the records that they do keep should have sufficient details to enable them to correctly calculate the amount of VAT due for payment and file their return. If Sales Tax Office happens to find that their records are not properly maintained, then they will issue a notice, informing dealers about what records they must keep. A dealer should maintain the following records: – to identify the nature and value of goods purchased and sold; distinguish between – local sales, interstate sales & exports. local purchases, interstate purchase & imports. ndicate value of – sale and purchase of tax free goods. sales exempted from tax. purchases from URD. rate-wise purchases & sales. local purchases from registered dealer with VAT shown separately. record payments for the purchases and sale of goods in cash book / bank book. include a summary of VAT paid separately on purchases, VAT charged on sales, VAT paid to the State treasury and VAT refundable / refunded to the dealers. contain adequate proof that goods have been exported or imported; be supported by invoices for all goods purchased, and copies of invoices, and bills or cash memoranda, issued for goods sold. Tax invoices and memoranda of sales or purchases As a registered dealer, they should issue a tax invoice when they sell goods to another registered dealer and charge VAT. For sales made to consumers and unregistered dealers, they must issue a tax invoice, or a bill or cash memorandum. However, if a dealer is a composition dealer other than a works contractor, they must issue a bill or cash memorandum only and not a tax invoice. Failure to issue a tax invoice or a bill or cash memorandum may result in a penalty. The tax invoice must contain: – he words ‘Tax invoice', printed in bold letters at the top or at a pro

In the recent meeting, Sarah was appointed as Managing manager of their business instead of Rubini as countryd in the Article of Association. Advise Bryan, Sarah, Jason, Calvin and Rubini in the situations above. (15 marks)Question 1 there are three types of business structure which are sole proprietorship, artnership and beau monde. Choosing the right type of business structure is one of the most important choices of all for which they have to make when starting a business. Not scarcely go push through thi s finish has an impact on their financial obligation, it impart overly affect their ability to raise expectant, heed and decision fashioning rights. Since there are cardinal people who are interested in starting cutting business, it is important for them to compare and choose whether a coalition or companionship go out best suit to their purpose. harmonise to arm 3(1) of Partnership performance 1961, a federation is the relation which subsists between persons extracting on business in common with a spate of profit. In other words, they moldiness continuously exonerate on travel agency business and all partners agreed to operate the travelling business unneurotic with the in hug drugtion to make profits from it. As for ac alliance, it is an fake lawful person who is bound by practice of law to manage society. It is a separate jural entity for which its legal identity separates itself from its members, routiners, employees and others who form the caller-ou t.In circumstanceinus of oversight and decision devising, there are two types of partners in partnership dormant partner who is non move into in management of the firm and managing partner who manages and makes all business decision of the firm, subject to each correspondence requiring them to obtain concur of all other partners. According to the situation, all five of them are agreed to be involved in the management and to make decision in concert, so it is confirmed that they are all managing partners of the partnership and it is clearly set show up in their written agreement.Hence, they are authorise to manage the partnership together and they have a wider pool of skills, knowledge and experiences con jointly from all partners, so they have to a greater extent inputs and suggestions to a recrudesce management of the business. In decision making wise, any study decision relating to any remove which go forth affect the nature of the partnership moldiness(prenomin al)(prenominal)(prenominal)iness obtain the con displace of all partners by carrying out titular meeting. For instance, type of business carried on, access and remotion of partners, and dissolution of partnership.Otherwise, they prat freely make decision in their give or whitethornhap together by carrying out a less formal meeting, provided they are acted in good faith. As for a community, although solo person who are appointed as music director has the might to manage the union, members of the bon ton have the definite voting rights in any major decision making. So, director has to comply with statutory requirements, which is to carry out customary meetings by sending out mailings of meeting to all members and essential caput accepted endurance from the members in parliamentary law to obtain their consent and reach a decision.Yet, the procedures in decision making in a beau monde compared to a partnership is more tedious and time-consuming, especially when facing of import matters to be solved in short standard of time. So, it is better to form a partnership in terms of management and decision making. As mentioned previously, partnership is not a separate legal entity and hence, they are having unlimited liability. All partners are in the flesh(predicate)ly and jointly responsible for all debts and obligations of the firm.Not notwithstanding it business leader end up with dissolution of the partnership, personal properties of partners seat be seized to settle the business when the firms blood is in adapted to cover debts and obligations incurred during the average bloodline of the business. Unlike a fellowship, it is a separate legal entity which separates itself from its members. As a result, solely federation is to the full liable for debts and obligations incurred by itself while members liability is only limited to the unpaid measuring stick of their servings crown, as set up in nerve Salomon v Salomon & Co Ltd.The cred itors claimed that Salomon and his lodge were one and the akin and they should be repaid in superlative prior(prenominal)ity. However, the court held that he is not liable for debts of the bon ton due to separate legal entity. Hence, in the egress of winding up, creditors throw outnot bring actions against members of the family to contri hardlye more than their initial plowshare in debts settlement and so, their personal assets are not impact. Therefore, it is better to form a familiarity in term of personal liability. as chthonian from that, they are planning to acquire several MPV vans in order to support their business but apparently their initial capital contribution which is totaling RM150, 000 is merely sufficient to acquire one or two second-hand MPV van. So, in term of raising capital, partnerships fund is increase through capital contribution by all partners. If they wish to raise more capital by admitting more partners into the business but prior to admission, they must dissolve the partnership and form a new partnership consisting old and new members again, and perhaps their previous written agreement must be re-wrote.However, continuous admission of new partner whitethorn not be the solution if they wish to stretch forth the business as the amount of capital contribution from each partner may not together with big enough to do so. As for caller, a private limited may normally emergence shares or debentures to family, friends or employees by way of a private arrangement while a worldly concern limited may invite familiar to abide for its shares or debentures. Also, a private limited may convert to public limited by flying special draw to raise more capital. condescension the risk of cosmos a new business and compilation of statutory procedures, the amount of capital raised may be relatively more than the amount of capital contributed by each partners in the partnership. Therefore, it is better to form a company in term of r aising capital and business expansion. Furthermore, partnership is not a separate legal entity and it flock be easily dissolved upon the death, retirement, or new admission of any partner. Hence, partnerships time of existence is uncertain and has a finite lifespan.Meanwhile, since company is a separate legal entity, it has the characteristic of perpetual succession. In other words, scorn any changes occur in its membership, they should not worry about dissolution of the company as it is has an infinite lifespan and exists perpetually until it is licitly wound up or deregistered. As such(prenominal) in wooing Re Noel Tedman Holdings Pty Ltd, a conserve and wife who were the only directors and members of the company were killed in an fortuity but the court held that the company is not affected by the accident and would continue to exist.Therefore, it is better to form a company in term of duration of existence. In conclusion, compared to a partnership, they are recommended to form a company in terms of limited liability of members, easier to raise more capital and its perpetual succession. Question 2 When they have chosen to form a private limited company, they should appoint a relay link to assist them in formation of company by do secretarial services. Firstly, the promoter must call for name front on the availability of proposed companys name.Next, internalization documents such as Memorandum of Association (herein after(prenominal) referred as MA), Articles of Association (hereinafter referred as AA), statutory declarations and any prescribed forms must be lodged with fipple flute of Companies (hereinafter referred as ROC) deep downcast three months from the date of favourable reception of the companys name. Upon submission of documents and coverment of fees, ROC get out get by certificate of incorporation to them. In MA, they need to state the name article, registered office, tendency clause, share capital clause and liability clause. While setting out name clause, they need to apply name search to ROC to check on the availability of their companys intended name which is Friendly Tours Sdn Bhd. However, care must be taken where they should not register their company in a name that in idea of ROC is undesirable or unaccepted by the Ministers, and besides confusingly similar to the name of an existing company. In addition, they must embroil Sendirian Berhad or the abbreviation Sdn Bhd in their companys name as it is a private limited company. at one time they obtain bona fide plaudit from ROC, the name is reserved for three months from the date of approval. Next, they should set travel agency business which tours around Sabah as their companys principal goal clause and from thereafter it defines their companys legal electrical subject matter when entering into any deal. Yet, in order to embellish their companys legal capacity and hem in basal vires act, they are advised to draft their design clause in w idest possible terms by including many conceivable forms of activities, each dependent or independent to companys principal object clause i. e. ravelling business, and each of it should be regarded as a separate and independent object in its own paragraph.Furthermore, they have to state the amount of companys initial legitimate share capital, which is RM150, 000 and its parting into shares of a fixed amount, which end be 150,000 ordinary shares of RM1 per share. They scum bag increase or decrease their authorized share capital in future by passing ordinary settlement. Also, their liability as a member in the company also must be stated, which is limited to the unpaid amount on their share capital, to protect their personal assets in the upshot of winding up.Other info such as companys registered office which located at Damai, Kota Kinabalu, subscribers clause and association clause must also be stated in MA. As a private limited company, it is open for them to decide whether to squeeze its own AA which meets companys requirements, adopt gameboard A of Fourth Schedule as its AA or a combination of Table A articles with particularised articles designed to meet companys requirements. However, under Section 30(2) of Companies effect 1965, Table A will be AA of their company if they failed to register its articles upon registration.Any barely change of AA is required to pass special resolution under some conditions. In drafting of AA, information such as appointment and removal of directors should be included in AA. To be appointed as a director, Rubini must be a indwelling person which is at least(prenominal) 18 long time old and not organism change from being a director. Since they are forming a private limited company, they are allowed to name Rubini as Managing Director of the company and state a five long time term of office in AA provided she is not 70 years old and above.Then, they should ensure that the company has at least two directors i ncluding Rubini who shall be named in AA as the low gear directors of the company and will hold office until the outset Annual General Meeting where they will mechanically retire (except Rubini in this situation). If they adopt Articles 64, 66 and 67 of Table A, retiring directors may be reappointed and the company may increase or decrease the number of directors in a general meeting by ordinary resolution.Furthermore, board of directors may have the power to appoint anyone as a director either to fill in casual vacancy or addition to existing board members if they adopt Articles 68 of Table A. Also, they have rights as members of the company to get hold of a director by ordinary resolution before his term of office expires. Yet, it is always subjected to companys AA such as a cooking is provided not to remove a director. They should also include the duties and powers of being a director, for example Rubini must greatly exercise her duties of care, skill and diligence.Other offi cers such as company secretary and auditor must be appointed at least one in the company and his legal position and duties must be clearly set out in companys AA. In addition, they should include rights of various classes of shareholders in terms of companys profitability, repayment of capital, deepen of shares, and decision making process. Detailed information regarding share capital should be clearly furnished such as methods of issuance of shares, transfer of shares, share redemption and reduction of capital.For debenture holders protection, they may need to state rules relating any fixed or floating charges attaching to particular proposition properties as a security to creditors in case of unable to repay any loan or borrowing. Notices and procedures to meeting and winding up also must be stated in AA. Apart from that, they must insert restrictions as contained in Section 15(1) of Companies function 1965 into MA and AA as a result of being a private limited company. For inst ance, it restricts its members rights to transfer shares.It also cannot have more than 50 members. The company, too, cannot raise capital by a way of offering shares and debentures to public or the public deposit money with the company. In a nutshell, they will receive certificate of incorporation upon successful registration of the company. Certificate of incorporation signifies that their company has been duly registered on date mentioned in it and restrictions in Section 15(1) of Companies Act 1965 will be effective.Besides, incorporation may bring forth effect that the company is a body corporate with the powers of an incorporated company, where it may sue or be sued in its own name, has a perpetual succession, may own topographic point and the liability of its members may be limited. Question 3 During commencement of business, the company may wish to extend its business, change its name or alter edible relating internal management. The company is permitted to do so by faste ner MA and AA by virtues of Section 21 and 31 of Companies Act 1965.MA is allowed to be neutered to the extent and in the manner which is provided by the Act under Section 21 of Companies Act 1965. Meanwhile, Section 31 of Companies Act 1965 states that articles in AA may be altered or added by special resolution and be take after valid as if originally contained in the articles despite subjected to few limitations. The firstly issue arises in this question is whether the company is allowed to divert their initial clinical in travel agency business and expand their business in exporting fresh food and vegetables.Upon incorporation, the legal capacity of the company is defined by object clause which has been stated in MA and it is not allowed to enter into any contract with third gear party, of which the purpose goes against its object. Otherwise, such act by the company is deemed to be an ultra vires act. Hence, the contract cannot be ratify by the company and considered as vo id contract which is shown in case Ashbury Railway v Riche. The company entered into a contract to build a railway system station in Belgium for which the purpose went against their object clause of making, selling and hiring railway carriages.The court held that the contract was considered as void as it was beyond the legal capacity of the company to undertake it. So, in their situation, the company is not supposed to enter into any contract including exporting fresh food and vegetables because their legal capacity is only limited to travel agency business which tours around Sabah. However, Section 20 of Companies Act 1965 has provided that even an ultra vires contract is still valid if it has been executed despite companys lack of capacity to enter into it.Meanwhile, if the contract has yet to be executed, minority shareholders may file for injunction to restrain company from performing the contract. Nevertheless, it is for the companys best interest to spoil the purpose of ultr a vires doctrine by change its object clause under Section 28 of Companies Act 1965. In case Bell rear Ltd. v City Wall Properties Ltd. , defendant refused to pay procuration fee to company on the ground that the contract was made outside companys object clause.However, there was such clause in MA which allowed company to carry on business or any trade whatsoever in vista of board of directors be advantageously carried on by the company in connection with or ancillary to any of the above business or the general business of the company. Although there was no consanguinity with main object clause, the court held that it was within complainants legal capacity due to the bona fide purview of board of directors.Therefore, establish on their situation, the company can widen the scope of object clause by adding such clause into their MA in order for them to expand their business in exporting fresh food and vegetables. Apart from that, notices must be sent out to all members within 21 days of the general meeting and the company must pass a special resolution from members who attend and ballot at the general meeting. Then, if there is no remonstration to the revision within 21 days after passing of resolution, the company has to lodge with ROC within 14 days in order for the alteration to come in effective.The second issue arises is whether the company can alter its name in MA from Friendly Tours Sdn Bhd to Borneo Connection Sdn Bhd. Prior to alternation, the company must drive name search and apply to ROC to check on availability of its proposed new name which is Borneo Connection Sdn Bhd. It must also ensure that the new name is not undesirable or unacceptable in the opinion of ROC or similar to the name of an existing company. Once it obtains approval from ROC, the new name will be automatically reserved for 3 months and the company must perform steps to change its name within the reservation period.Then, under Section 23(1) of Companies Act 1965, the co mpany must provide notice of 21 days to all members of the general meeting and pass a special resolution from members who attend and vote at the general meeting. Upon that, ROC will only re-issue certificate of incorporation under the new name i. e. Borneo Connection Sdn Bhd and effectuate are taken into place. However, the company remains the same legal entity as the change of name will not affect any rights or liabilities of the company. In the third situation, Sarah was appointed as the Managing Director of the company instead of Rubini as stated in AA.Firstly, the first issue arises is regarding validity of naming Rubini as Managing Director in AA. Section 123 of Companies Act 1965 has stated that a person shall not be named as a director or proposed director in MA or AA or companys course catalog but this section is not applicable to a private limited company. So, it is valid to name Rubini as the Managing Director. Assuming Rubinis term of office is not stated in AA, she will hold office until the succeeding(prenominal) Annual General Meeting where she will retire automatically and may be re-elected for next appointment.However, there is also a possibility where members of the company may remove Rubini as Managing Director by ordinary resolution before her term of office expires. Hence, Rubini should be given special notice of 28 days of the general meeting where she is proposed to be removed. Yet, based on the situation, she was not given any notice regarding removal of her position and Sarah was directly appointed as the Managing Director and therefore, it brought up straight to the next issue on whether Sarah is eligible to be appointed as Managing Director.The person must be a lifelike person who at least 18 years old and above, has consented to appointment and not being disqualified from being a director can be appointed as a director. So, it is sham that Sarah has execute the criterion and she can be appointed as the Managing Director. Upon su ccessful appointment of Sarah as the Managing Director, it brought up the get word issue on whether the contract between Rubini and the company is in geological fault.Section 33(1) of Companies Act 1965 has explained that MA and AA perate as a contract which only binding the company and its members, and members amongst themselves, but not between the company and outsiders. Generally, director is merely an officer but not a member of the company and so, he is considered as an outsider. Since he is not privy to the contracts, he cannot enforce any rights that MA or AA purport to confer upon them. However, Rubini has been validly named as the Managing Director of the company in AA and so, she has a valid contract between the company and herself.Therefore, she can enforce her rights against the company if the company fails to observe purvey in AA. This situation is supported by the case gray Foundries v Shirlaw. Shirlaw sued for split up of contract because he was removed by Federa tion Foundries which altered the articles of Southern Foundries to give them power to remove Shirlaw before his ten years term of office was expired. The court held that an alteration of the articles was not amounted to a breach of contract but their act on altered articles was deemed to be and, therefore, Shirlaw was only entitled to damages.From the case, judge of the case has laid down the general principles where a company is not precluded from altering its articles so as to give itself to act upon altered articles, but acting on altered articles is construed as a breach of contract. Moreover, no injunction can be granted to prevent the adoption of the new articles but damages was the only remedy for breach of contract. In Rubinis situation, there is a breach of contract as the company appointed Sarah as the Managing Director instead of her who has been stated in AA and it was assumed that the alteration of articles was in progress.Yet, she cannot re-enforce her appointment sinc e she cannot prevent company from altering its AA as it is given the power to do so under Section 33(1) of Companies Act 1965. So, she can only obtain damages for illegitimate dismissal. In conclusion, the company is allowed to expand its business scope and change its name to a new name as long as it passes special resolution. However, Rubini was only entitled to damages as a result of wrongful dismissal because she cannot restrain the company from performing alteration in articles.
