Composition Dealer, Value Added Tax - VAT-CST

[Bayyareddy DK]

sir,

My client a hotelier is paying Karnataka VAT under composition scheme. In the year 2011-12 & 12-23, entered a joint development agreement in a new venture to construct hotel rooms 50/50. On advances received, voluntarily paid tax @4%. Separate books maintained for Hotel and construction services. Option of selecting 4% composition on construction services is not intimated to VAT office. Officer reassessed the taxes @ 14.5% on construction advances?. My client is a eligible dealer for composition scheme but not submitted the option leads to higher rate of Tax?. Please advice.
