Shimla, December 19

The state Excise and Taxation Department today advised the dealers registered under the VAT, central sales tax (CST) and luxury tax in the state to enrol themselves at the Goods and Service Tax Network (GSTN) portal.

The spokesperson of the department said data migration of the existing VAT/CST and luxury tax dealers to the GSTN database had commenced across the country. To avail the facility, the dealers are advised to visit the Excise and Taxation website www.hptax.gov.in from December 20 and login using their existing VAT user ID and password.

The dealers can then use the ID and password to log in to the GSTN portal at www.gst.gov.in and get provisionally enrolled there.

He said provisional enrolment was important and the ITC on old stock as on March 31, 2017, would not be allowed unless the enrolment in the GSTN portal was complete.

The enrolment is free of cost and the window would close on December 31.
