One of my client at madhya pradesh has supplied material to a buyer in maharashtra. in the year 2009-10,2010-11,2011-12 and till july he was supplying the material. in the offer he mentioned the terms of lower sales tax against form c. but till now he has not received form c from his buyer. in madhya pradesh the trader has to submit the forms along with the returns on a quarterly basis. my client couldn't submit the forms with the authorities. and got a notice of paying the amounts of tax as per local sales tax rates plus interest and penalties as applicable in the state. still the forms are pending with his buyers. also he is having some amounts of buyer in his account. i would like to ask can my client do some legal actions against his buyer for non issuing the forms which has caused him of paying huge tax amounts.
thanks

he can file suit against the buyer for recovery of outstanding amount as the buyer has failed to furnish C forms
