[vinit goyal]

Dear Sir

My query is that we are a trader not a manufacture for local sale/purchase and import and export

We are registered under excise as a first stage dealer and submit the return quaterly as per

rule 9 sub section 8 of cenvat credit rule 2004

My Queries that We should require two registration under central excise one for first stage dealer and second for importer ???

But now our consultant tell us for mandatory registration under excise as a importer and submit the return as per notification Notification No. 09/2014 - Central Excise in which mentioned the word

1. (1) These rules may be called the CENVAT Credit (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 2014.

(2) They shall come into force from the 1^st day of April, 2014.

2. In the CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004, in rule 9, in sub-rule (8), -

(a) after the words “second stage dealer” , the words “or a registered importer” shall be inserted;

(b) in the proviso, after the words “second stage dealer” , the words “or registered importer” shall be inserted.

So now my queries is that we require the two registration under excise as a first stage dealer and for importer also and submit the return ???

Pl resolve the queries if possible

Regards

Yes sir, the advice provided by your consultant that you are required to take two registration as importer for import of goods and also as first stage dealer for procuring local goods.

With effect from 01.04.2014, an importer has to register himself with Central Excise Department as first stage dealer, file quarterly return and also has to maintain credit account regarding CVD and SAD paid on the imported goods and details regarding passing of such credit to his customer.

Sir,

In my opinion since you have already registered as 'first stage dealer' under Central Excise Act, 1944 you need not take another registration as importer.

Dear Vinit,

Please check the Notification 08-11/C.E./2014 all dated 28-02-2014 w.e.f. 01-04-2014 in this regard. Get yourself registred as importer otherwise you won't be able to pass on the CENVAT credit.

Dear Vinit Goyal,

if you are register as first stage dealer need not require separate registration for Import activity, Dept never giving two registration for one business place if dept. is issuing any body which has totally wrong.
