CHANDIGARH, JULY 26
The Punjab Excise and Taxation Department has started
a virtual information collection center-‘e-TRIP’ to facilitate taxable persons,
advocates, charted accountants and cost accountants that would enable them to
submit the information regarding intrastate movement of goods (within Punjab).
According to an official spokesman,
taxable persons making sales above Rs. 3 lakh and in the case of iron and steel
above Rs. 2 lakh would be able to submit the information on ‘e-TRIP’ on the
website of the department www.pextax.com .
He said that e-TRIP is a facility through which the details of each movement of
goods can be entered on the Department’s website.
He said that this will result
in the generation of an acknowledgement slip which shall accompany the goods
during their movement. The Spokesman added that in case this acknowledgement
slip does not accompany the goods the owner would become liable for penal
action under section 51 of the Punjab VAT Act.
He said that earlier under section 51 of VAT Act,
every movement of goods was required to be accompanied by documents and this
information was collected at Information Collection Centers of the Department.
He said that for interstate movement the department had already introduced
‘e-ICC’, where owners of goods could furnish the information from their
premises.
He said that now from August 10, 2012
all sellers, whose goods of value as prescribed are to move from one place to
another within Punjab, they can submit
information on ‘e-TRIP’. He said that by this facility smooth transportation of
goods would not hinder as it would not involve any physical barriers.
The spokesman said that all persons
filing returns in the department under VAT Act could avail this facility by
using the username and password for e-filing.
