Regular Returns with Annexures Dealer Instruction Sheet 1
Introduction As per Trade Circular 9T dated 25-MAR-2014, Maharashtra Sales Tax Department has decided to encourage dealers to submit annexures for each filed return as per the return periodicity starting 1-APR-2014. Subsequently if the dealers revise any returns they will also be expected to revise their corresponding annexures when applicable. Furthermore, the existing Annexure J2 Cross J1 match-mismatch identification activity will be carried out for all the return periods. This Annexure cross-match report will be then made available for view and download to the dealers. Note: The existing process of filing returns will continue as-is. Submitting annexures is not mandatory at this point in time. 2
