KARACHI: Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) has extended the last date for filing sales tax return for the month of November 2019 up to December 28, 2019 in order to facilitate taxpayers.
A circular issued by the SRB on Thursday extended the last date for e-filing of tax return for the tax period of November 2019.
The provincial tax authority said that in order to facilitate registered persons in adopting the newly introduced STRIVe system, the SRB allowed the registered persons, including the withholding agents covered by the provisions of the Sindh Sales Tax Special Procedure (Withholding) Rules, 2014, to e-file their tax returns for the tax period November 2019, on or before Saturday December 28, 2019.
However, the due date for e-deposit of the amount of Sindh sales tax for the tax period November 2019 would remain unchanged.
The extension reflects the SRB’s effort to ensure a smooth transition to the STRIVe e-filing system and reduce compliance difficulties faced by taxpayers during the initial phase of implementation. Taxpayers are advised to complete filing within the revised deadline to avoid penalties and ensure accurate recordkeeping, while also benefiting from improved digital processing, faster verification, and enhanced transparency in tax administration under the updated provincial tax regime. This step supports greater compliance and revenue stability overall system.
