The Assessing Officer [for brevity "AO"], however, while completing the assessment, took the entire turnover for sawing shown in the books of accounts as taxable turnover relying on Section 2(xliv) of the Kerala Value Added Tax Act, 2003 [for brevity "KVAT Act"]. Though the proposal was to take the entire turnover of sawing as taxable turnover, on further verification of the books of accounts; the amounts shown as labour charges were deleted. While the proposal was to add a turnover of Rs. 18,80,880/- in the first year and Rs. 20,44,380/- in the second year, the actual turnover added back was Rs. 8,90,960/- and Rs. 10,29,660/- in the respective years. .....

The learned Counsel appearing for the assessee would argue that there is no mandate as per the rule to obtain complete name and address of the supplier of goods who entrusts such goods for job works. To buttress such contention, it is submitted that Section 40A(2) on the contrary mandates the complete address in an invoice issued in a taxable sale.
