Commercial Tax Department New Website (ctd.tn.gov.in) The Government of Tamil Nadu has launched a new portal for providing e-services relating to registration & filing in respect of TNVAT. The New portal can be accessed at https://ctd.tn.gov.in/portal The Salient features of this e-c Tax initiative of Tamil Nadu Government are:-. New Dealer Registration, modification of details and cancellation of RC with regard to existing dealers shall be done only in this new portal. All existing dealers shall register in this portal with the Email ID and mobile number and it has to be noted that Email ID & mobile number should be unique to the TIN number. All notices and other related forms will be sent to that mail ID only. All payments including registration fees, tax payment, etc., shall be done only online and no cash/cheque shall be accepted at the Assessment circles. Dealers will now have the option of filing their returns using digital signature. When Digital signature is used, there is no 6 P a g e
requirement for physical submission of returns/documents at the Assessment Circle. But there is an issue that one party can digitally sign only for one TIN. For example, if A is proprietor for one concern and Partner in another concern, he cannot use his digital signature for both concerns. So the other partner has to sign up with his digital signature. Monthly returns under VAT and CST for February 2016 shall be filed using the new portal on or before 20 th march 2016, along with the payment online. All existing dealers have to sign up in new portal on or before 29.02.2016, to carry forward their ITC (informed by sales tax officials) 7 P a g e
