Generating VAT reports and Returns from group company

As per the provisions of the VAT Act, every dealer who crosses specified turnover limits is required to be registered with the Authorities of the Jurisdiction, who in turn will issue TIN for the identification of the dealer’s registration. Every registered dealer has to file his periodic returns by specifying his TIN. The primary focus of every business is to grow; a dealer with a single TIN can operate his business in different parts of the state. However, he has to submit a consolidated return of all business units, running with the same TIN to the concerned authority.

Example: ABC Company is a registered dealer in Bangalore (HO) and having branches in – Mangalore, Hubli and Mysore. All these business units are operated with single TIN; it is required to file the VAT returns in Bangalore by consolidating the transactions of HO and Branches. To meet this VAT requirement, Company has created a Group Company by selecting HO and Branch as member companies and wants to generate Group Company VAT Reports and Returns.

In Series A, generating VAT Reports and Returns from Group Company is not supported.

ALTERNATE SOLUTION/WORKAROUND

Using Synchronization / Export & Import procedure, HO and Branches data can be consolidated to generate combined VAT Reports and Returns.
