    Banks directed to collect advance tax from non-ATL persons

    ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has directed banks to collect advance income tax on non-cash banking transactions from persons non-appearing on the Active Taxpayers List (ATL).

    Sources said that financial institutions are required to collection advance tax at 0.6 percent on the transactions of above Rs50,000 non-cash banking transactions.

    The government introduced the withholding tax provision through Finance Act, 2015 and a new Section 236P was inserted to Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Under this provision 0.6 percent withholding tax was imposed only on non-filers of income tax returns on aggregate transactions of Rs50,000 per day.

    The provision was aimed at increasing burden on person not filing income tax returns.

    The government faced opposition from various quarters after the introduction of Section 236P. Therefore, the government reduced the tax rate to 0.3 percent in the same fiscal year of its launch. The reduced rate increased to 0.4 percent in March 2017 and finally this rate made part of the statute through Finance Act, 2018.

    However, the present government through Finance Supplementary (Amendment) Act, 2018 in October 2018 restored the tax rate to 0.6 percent in order to made transactions costlier for non-compliant taxpayers.

    Through Finance Act, 2019 a new Tenth Schedule was introduced to the Ordinance, under which withholding tax would be collected form persons not appearing on the ATL.

    Previously, the income tax return filing was mandatory for appearing on the ATL. But in the latest arrangement a person will only be appear on the ATL if he files annual return by due date.

    However, after paying late filing fine a person can enroll his name to the ATL.

    The FBR sources said that the levy of advance tax on non-cash banking transactions that is only applicable on those persons not appearing on the ATL, had helped the FBR to receive all time high number of returns of 3 million for the tax year 2019 by December 21, 2020.

    KARACHI: Pakistan’s apex trade body has urged the prime minister to extend the date for availing a tax amnesty for builders and developers for one year.

    Mian Anjum Nisar, President, Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) while appreciating the Prime Minister of Pakistan for introducing Amnesty Scheme for Construction Industry, said that the scheme has boosted the socio-economic status of daily wagers and supported the construction and its allied sectors.

    It was a tremendous decision for the mitigation of COVID-19 impact over Pakistan. This incentive scheme attracts the builders, developers, and purchasers of housing units and plots who have not availed of it yet.

    Even the negative economic effects of Covid-19 pandemic have not hindered the Construction Industry in providing immediate jobs back to the millions of daily wages earners.

    He informed that Prime Minister Imran Khan had announced the tax amnesty scheme for the real estate and construction sector in April 2020 and will remain valid till 31st December 2020.

    The relief package was for the construction industry with twofold aim of providing employment to daily wage earners, and spurring economic activity.

    Those availing of this scheme need to register with the designated FBR portal since the ordinance was promulgated from April 2020 to December 31, 2020.

    The immunity from declaring the source of income was also available to builders, developers, and the purchasers of the housing societies and projects, and tax on gains on investment had been waived for all citizens who wanted to sell their homes.

    The tax amnesty had been given as part of the Prime Minister Package to lessen the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on the construction sector.

    President FPCCI urges the Prime Minister to extend the time period of the Amnesty Scheme for Construction Industry and introduce the same amnesty scheme facility to other sectors and industries.

    This scheme can support the economy of Pakistan during the second wave of COVID-19 and it will proved to be a turning point for the economy of Pakistan & for the revival of the housing and construction industry in Pakistan.

    He further said that if the Amnesty Scheme continues for another year the daily wagers, the most vulnerable segment of the population can get back to work to earn a respectable earning for their families as they were fighting with the second phase of COVID-19 and poverty at the same time.

  • Non-filers may face concealment of income charges

    Non-filers may face concealment of income charges

    ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) may invoke provisions of Tenth Schedule of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 under which non-filers of income tax returns for tax year 2020 may face charges of concealment of income.

    Rule 3 of the Tenth Schedule of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, explained:

    (1) Where for a tax year person’s tax has been collected or deducted in accordance with rule 1 and the person fails to file return of income for that tax year within the due date provided in section 118 or as extended by the Board, the Commissioner shall notwithstanding anything contained in sub-sections (3) and (4) of section 114, within sixty days of the due date provided in section 118 or as extended by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) make a provisional assessment of the taxable income of the person and issue a provisional assessment order specifying the taxable income assessed and tax due thereon.

    (2) In making the provisional assessment under sub-rule (1), the Commissioner shall impute taxable income on the amount of tax deducted or collected under rule 1 by treating the imputed income as concealed income for the purposes of clause (d) of sub-section (1) of section 111:

    Provided that the provision of section 111 shall be applicable on unexplained income, asset or expenditure in excess of imputed income treated as concealed income under this rule.

  • Proposed new tax on car purchase resented

    Proposed new tax on car purchase resented

    KARACHI: An association of industries and traders has resented proposed plan of the government to impose a new tax on purchase of motor vehicles.

    Pakistan Industrial and Traders Association Front (PIAF) has voiced its serious concern over the imposition of new tax on the sale of new cars to control ‘On Money’ practice, saying the move will further enhance the prices of already world most expansive Pakistani four wheelers, said a statement.

    PIAF chairman Mian Nauman Kabir said that the government has decided to impose up to Rs200,000 additional withholding tax on the purchase of new cars on the plea of discouraging ‘On Money’ but actually the move has been aimed at achieving FBR’s target of tax collection.

    He said that the locally-assembled cars are very expansive mainly due to exorbitant government taxes and high profit margins of the assemblers despite the fact that their quality is very low.

    The additional withholding tax of up to Rs200,000 will put more burden on the consumers, who are already buying the very costly vehicles as compared to rest of world.

    He said that the consumers were upset due to unnecessarily long delivery time for vehicles by the manufacturers. In order to discourage the practice of “on money” the government, instead of taking some solid measures, has imposed additional Withholding Income Tax, which does not seem to be logical.

    He said that government can control prices by checking various costs and then ensuring 20 or 30 percent profit of the company.

    “Right now car manufacturers have 1-year advances, which is more than their total investment,” he said.

    “Secondly, the government can definitely intervene to ensure quality, as a car carries a human being and human life is dependent on its quality. The companies in India, Canada or USA have different features and different safety modes and features. Same models in Pakistan have almost zero safety features whereas price in Pakistan is much higher. Let’s forget price for sometimes but at least give us a safe vehicle with less oil consumption,” he argued.

    He said that nowadays 25 percent of the price is being charged in the name of on money. Even if you pay 100 percent you cannot get a car and have to pay ‘ON’ in lakhs, which is almost 25 percent of the total price that is right under the government nose and in knowledge of the concerned authorities, he added.

    PIAF leader appealed the government to devise some mechanism to regulate the automotive sector in view of the quality as well as the prices in consultation with all stakeholders including the industry as well as the consumers.

    Mian Nauman Kabir said that local manufactures revise their cars prices whenever they desire and that too without getting due approval from any authority, which affect the common people badly.

    The Engineering Development Board (EDB) will have to devise some rules and regulations to benefit the consumers along with securing the interest of the auto assemblers in the upcoming auto policy, he said. PIAF also suggests the Senate Standing Committee on Industries and Production to take the notice of exorbitant and ever-soaring prices of cars in Pakistan along with illegal practice of charging ‘on money’ or premium, he added.

    The Senate Standing Committee on Industries and Production, the Engineering Development Board, FBR, Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association and major Consumers Welfare Associations should sit together and finalize some mechanism to bring down the prices of automobiles in line with the rates of international market, by revising profit margins and decreasing taxes and duties in the larger interest of the public.

    ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has started processing income tax refunds for the tax year 2020 and issued instructions in this regard.

    The FBR issued a notification to all the chief commissioners of tax offices stating that payment of refunds or adjustment of refund have identical financial impact for the exchequer and therefore, both warrant equal focus and application of mind so that no undue and undetermined refund is either paid out or adjusted to/by the taxpayers.

    The FBR said that in this connection, the data of income tax refund applications had been obtained from field formations/PRAL for tax year 2020, and examined.

    The FBR told the chief commissioners that current year’s refund liability should be paid out of the current year’s revenue stream and that no due refund should be withheld.

    It would also help us ward off unnecessary complaints against us for delayed processing of refund applications and/or non-payment of refund to the taxpayers.

    Therefore, the tax offices are advised to dispose of all applications lodged under section 170 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 by January 31, 2021.

    SBP launches survey to analyze trends in remittances

    KARACHI: State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Thursday launched a survey of Overseas Pakistanis to analyze recent trends in remittances and the future outlook.

    The central bank launched the survey in collaboration with Ministry of Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (MPD&SI).

    The survey will be available to all Overseas Pakistanis globally till January 9, 2021.

    The survey attempts to assess underlying factors that may have affected recent remittances behavior, including switching from informal to formal channels, from brick and mortar outlets to digital platforms, future plans of moving back to Pakistan, as well as the amount of remittances they expect to send in the next six months.

    With the support of the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development (MOPHRD), Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and Pakistan Remittance Initiative (PRI), this survey is being conducted simultaneously at Pakistani Consulates and Embassies, Overseas Bank Branches of Pakistani Banks as well as online.

    SBP and MPD&SI encourage Overseas Pakistanis to actively participate in this short online survey. The survey is very easy to access through the following web link: https://surveyctosbp.surveycto.com/collect/survey_on_recent_remittance_behavior_of_overseas_pakistanis?caseid
