    FBR warns stern action against under-invoicing, mis-declaration

    ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has decided to launch drive against manufacturers and importers indulged in under invoicing and incurring huge revenue losses to national exchequer.

    FBR chairman Syed Shabbar Zaidi, in a statement, warned such manufacturers and importers to abstain from misdeclaration and under-invoicing.

    The statement said that the smuggling was the greatest menace but under-invocing and misdeclaration of imported goods were also depriving the country from actual revenue collection.

    The chairman warned manufacturers and importers that in case misreporting or under-invoicing was detected then stern action would be taken under relevant provisions of laws.

    The statement said that smuggled goods have badly dented the local manufacturing. The prime minister noticed the huge quantum of smuggling and directed the authorities to take all measures to stop the menace.

    In order to comply with the directives of the prime minister, Pakistan Customs enhanced the enforcement against illegal movements of goods.

  • No unnecessary transfers of senior officials: FBR

    No unnecessary transfers of senior officials: FBR

    ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Thursday asked the senior officers to concentrate on their work as no unnecessary transfers and posting will be notified.

    An office order issued by the FBR stated that there had been a tradition in the revenue body for en-bloc transfers and postings each financial year, especially at senior level at the beginning of each financial year.

    “Henceforth, this tradition would not be made as a norm unless necessitated in the interest of revenue or reforms in the organization.”

    All the senior officers and their staff should concentrate on optimal collection of due taxes, facilitation of taxpayers, expansion of tax base and identifying economic activities and business units in their jurisdiction.

    “We all work as a team and shall continue to do so without affecting our ongoing efforts and efficiency,” it added.

    The FBR recently notified transfers and postings of over 3,000 employees of lower cadre. This large scale transfers and postings created panic like situation in the FBR field formation and the work of duty and tax collection was almost at halt.

    The senior officers were also waiting for notifications for their transfers. The revenue collection in the July 2019 witnessed sharp decline and unconfirmed sources said that the collection in the month was so far in the negative zone when compared with the same month of the last year.

    The government has set a target of Rs5,550 billion as collection by the FBR during current fiscal. It is also a fact that the FBR failed to meet the revenue figures of past year of Rs3,852 billion.

    In these challenge situations the transfer and postings created panic and FBR had decided to be careful in shuffling the senior officers of Inland Revenue Service and Pakistan Customs.

  • Inland Revenue directed to ensure no zero-rate supply of gas, electricity

    Inland Revenue directed to ensure no zero-rate supply of gas, electricity

    ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has directed offices of Inland Revenue to ensure implementation of normal tax rate on supply of gas and electricity to manufacturing facilities.

    In a communication with the offices of Inland Revenue, the FBR said: “Field formations are requested to ensure implementation accordingly and to ensure that no zero-rated supplies are made by utility companies within their jurisdiction.”

    The FBR said that SRO 1125(I)/2011 dated 31.12.2011, relating to zero-rating of five export-oriented sectors, has been rescinded since 1st July, 2019 vide rescinding SRO 694(I)/2019 dated 29.06.2019.

    From 1st July, 2019, the items listed in the said SRO shall be charged to sales tax at 17 percent at import and local supply.

    Only in case of integrated retail outlets, sales tax on finished textile and leather item shall be charged at 14 percent.

    All Sales Tax General Orders (STGOs) granting zero-rating on supply of electricity, gas, diesel, furnace oil and coal have been rescinded vide STGO 100/2019 dated 29.06.2019.

    In order to resolve the issue of increased sales tax refunds of exporters due to withdrawal of zero-rating on inputs, the scope of Expeditious Refund System is proposed to be extended with automated payment on generated RPOs.

    The changes to rules in this respect shall soon be notified, the FBR said.

    The Sales Tax Special Procedure Rules, 2007, issued vide SRO 480(I)/2007 dated 09.06.2007 have also been rescinded through SRO 694(I)/2019, dated 29.06.2019.

    All special procedures provided therein have been thus discontinued. The desirable provisions from these rules have either been transposed to the Sales Tax Act, 1990, or are being transposed to the Sales Tax Rules, 2006.

    Necessary amendments to the Sales Tax Rules, 2006, shall follow in few days, the FBR said.

    The Sales Tax Special Procedure (Withholding) Rules, 2007, issued vide SRO 660(I)/2007 have also been rescinded. The withholding requirements and rates, and the exclusions therefrom have been transposed to the new Eleventh schedule. Other procedural provisions have been re-enacted in Chapter XIV-D of the Sales Tax Rules, 2006, through SRO 698(I)/2019 dated 29.06.2019.

    SRO 693(1)72019 dated 29.06.2019 amends SRO 509(1)72013 pertaining to 5 percent extra tax on supplies of gas and electricity. The Government, semi-government and statutory regulatory bodies have been excluded from levy of said 5 percent extra tax.

    SRO 692(I)/2019 dated 29.06.2019 amends SRO 648(I)/2013 which prescribes exclusions from chargeability of further tax. Two new serial numbers 12 and 13 have been added which provide exclusion from further tax to supplies to the Government, semi government and statutory regulatory bodies and supplies of white crystalline sugar.

    The further tax under Section 3(1 A) of the Sales Tax Act, 1990, shall not be charged in the aforesaid two cases.

    SRO 190(I)/2002, issued in exercise of powers under clause (iii) of the first proviso to section 4 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990, provides that zero-rating shall not apply to exports of goods specified in SRO as made by air or via land route to Afghanistan and through Afghanistan to Central Asian Republics (CARs).

    The 2002-notification has now been amended vide SRO 691(I)/2019 dated 29.06.2019 to exclude PVC and PMC materials from purview of SRO 190(I)/2002, meaning thereby that zero-rating on export of these items shall be available on exports to Afghanistan or to CARs through Afghanistan.

    This notification has been rescinded vide SRO 694(I)/2019 dated 29.06.2019. However, this rescission is erroneous as the notification no. SRO 769(I)/2009 had already been superseded vide SRO 811(I)/2009 dated 19.09.2009, which after some amendments was finally rescinded vide SRO 611(I)/2015 dated 30.06.2015.

    Therefore, rescission of SRO 769(I)/2009 has no practical effect and this may be ignored.

  • Tax collection from salary income declines by 44 percent: State Bank

    Tax collection from salary income declines by 44 percent: State Bank

    KARACHI: Tax collection from salary income declined by 44 percent due to changes in income tax rates for all income slabs, according to a report issued by State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).

    The SBP said that during first nine-months of fiscal year 2018/2019 the tax collection on salaries remained much lower than in the same months of preceding year.

    The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) collected Rs53.5 billion as tax from salary income during July – March of Fiscal year 2018/2019 as compared with collection of Rs95.2 billion in the same period of the preceding fiscal year.

    “Tax collection on salaries also remained much lower than last year. In absolute terms, tax on salaries declined by Rs 41.7 billion during the review period, mainly due to changes in income tax rates for all income slabs,” the SBP said.

    Direct taxes having a share of 37 percent in overall FBR tax collection recorded a decline of 0.8 percent during Jul-Mar FY19 in contrast to a rise of 12.2 percent during the same period last year.

    Measures like the suspension of tax on mobile top-ups; reduction in come tax rates on salaries; reduction in the withholding tax rate on dividends; and spending under the PSDP explain the decline in direct taxes.

    Within direct taxes, major hit emerged from withholding taxes (largest contributor in direct taxes), which recorded a contraction of 8.7 percent during Jul-Mar FY19 against a rise of 16.1 percent during the same period last year.

    One-half of the decline in total withholding taxes is in the category of telephone/mobiles. Collection from telephone was only Rs 5.3 billion during Jul-Mar FY19 compared to a collection of Rs 38.0 billion during the same period last year.

    This lower collection from telephone/mobile phones was not surprising amid suspension of taxes on mobile phone top-up by the Supreme Court.

    Receipts from contracts were also lower compared to last year largely owing to a cut in the PSDP. Voluntary payments increased by Rs 34.3 billion during Jul-Mar FY19.

    FBR allows goods clearance without retail price print till July 31

    ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Monday allowed to clear consignments of consumer items without printing of retail prices till July 31, 2019 in order to facilitate clearance of stuck up containers.

    The Board’s vide letter No. 1/2-STB/2019/87779-R, dated 4.7.2019, had directed that imported Third Schedule items be allowed clearance after affixation of stickers printed with retail price till 31st July, 2019.

    The Board has received several representations that the requirement of printing retail price on imported Third Schedule items has been introduced through the Finance Act, 2019 and the importers did not have sufficient notice of the change, therefore, a large number of consignments of such items are arriving without printed retail price, and that that de-stuffing of containers to affix stickers in the aforesaid manner is not practical and the same would cause blockage of imports and congestion at the ports.

    Accordingly, in order to resolve the issue, the Board is pleased to allow clearance of imported Third Schedule items without printing of retail price or affixing stickers for which goods declaration are filed by July 31, 2019 subject to the condition that the importer declares retail price for each of the imported items in terms of section 2(27) of the Sales Tax Act, 1990, and that the goods are assessed for sales tax on such declared retail price.
