No yearly assessements and no need to obtain yearly asst. orders. for vat but the tax authorities can audit a dealer either from the date of registration or as per their discretion and shall pass audit orders which will be final asst. orders, of course, these can be reopened / revised by deputy commissioner with in stipulated period.

 in CST yearly assts. are compulsory when you use c forms or other statutory forms and in case of no business, simply by giving letter, the officer can issue nil asst. order.

 hence keep filing your vat  and cst returns without interruption and get your cst asst completed yearly once or once for two years.
