Sales Tax Instructions

Sales Tax Instructions, 2009
PROFILES OF ALL REGISTERED PERSONS
9. It has been noticed that due to late / wrong provision of Sales tax return
data by Collectorates to the STARR, the results like ―Non-Filer‖ are also being received
due to application of STARR checks even in those cases where monthly sales tax return
has been filed by the suppliers (registered persons). In order to avoid such objections an
additional support to the processing officers is being provided by providing last six
month‘s profiled of all registered persons to the Collectorates by the 10 th day of every
month. The processing officers would have direct access to such profile data of all
registered persons through the windows already available on their PCs. The processing
officers, on the basis of the data / information, would also be able to decided objections
like ―Non-Filer‖ received in result of STARR verifications. It is hoped that this additional
support would help the Processing Officers to make immediate payment of refund of the
amount deferred due to STARR objections, if found admissible with the help of profile
data of registered persons.
SECURITY MEASURES
10. In order to maintain proper security of STARR system all users
(processing officer, incharge, Treasury officer etc.) are advised to change their passwords
on regular basis, preferably on weekly basis. As all software related rights of STARR
system have been given to the data Base Administrator (DBA) of the Collectorate for
smooth functioning of the system, therefore, by virtue of this provision he has complete
access to all functions of STARR software installed in the Collectorates. He is, therefore,
responsible for maintaining al standard security measures and he would also be
responsible for any possible misuse of the right given to him in respect of STARR
system.
M.I.S. REPORTS FOR MONITORING
11. Monthly reports pertaining to suppliers-wise discrepancies in invoices,
bills of entry and shipping bills are being sent to Collectorates separately for scrutiny and
necessary action. However, a daily performance report has been designed through which
the officers could easily monitor the performance and progress of each individual of
refund divisions. DBA of the Collectorate may be advised to generate and supply this
report to the officers in-charge on daily basis.
