Introduction The Commercial Taxes Department of Maharashtra has introduced electronic filing of Audit Report in Form 704. The Form 704 has to be filed using the Excel Template file available for download from the Department website www.mahavat.gov.in. Download the template FORM- 704.xls to Tally.ERP 9 installed folder. The current period at Gateway of Tally and the financial year of data to be exported needs to be the same. Each time while exporting the data from Tally.ERP 9 to template file ensure that fresh template is placed in the export location to avoid over-writing of information. Every Registered dealer whose turnover is in excess of Rs. 40 lakhs in the previous financial year has to get the VAT details of the business audited from a practising Chartered Accountant or Cost Accountant. The auditor has to record the audit findings in Form 704 and sign the audit report. This Audit Report has to be uploaded in electronic format to the Department website through a valid Login ID and Password. The Department will allot Login ID and Password for accessing the Commercial Tax website and filing returns to the Registered Dealers having valid TIN and CST Registration number. The registered dealers need to file the audit report in electronic format if all the criteria as prescribed by the department are satisfied. The Auditor needs to conduct the audit on the books of accounts of every eligible dealer under section 61 of Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, 2002 even if the same is done under any other Acts of the Statute as in force for the time being. For example, Tax Audit u/s 44B of Income Tax Act, 1961, Central Excise Act etc. Form 704 in Tally.ERP 9 The facility to enter the audit details and export the information to the revised template was introduced in Tally.ERP 9 Release 2.1 compatible with Stat.900 version 132.
