  • Tax collection from salaried persons surges by 68 percent

    Tax collection from salaried persons surges by 68 percent

    KARACHI: The collection of income tax from salaried persons registered 68 percent growth during July – March 2019/2020 due to upward revision in tax rates on various salary slabs, State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) reported in its Third Quarterly Report on Pakistan Economy issued on Thursday.

    The collection under this head increased to Rs89.7 billion during July – March 2019/2020 as compared with Rs53.5 billion in the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year.

    The SBP attributed the rise in tax collection from salary to upward revision in tax rates on various salary slabs.

    The central bank said that the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) collected Rs41.3 billion as advance tax on telephone/mobile phones during July – March 2019/2020 showing around 7-time higher than the collection of Rs5.3 billion in the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year.

    The advance tax collection was remained suspended in 2018/2019 which resulted in nominal collection in the same year. However, after the resumption of collection granted by the court resulted in phenomenal growth.

    The advance tax collection from imports registered negative growth of 8 percent to Rs155 billion during July – March 2019/2020 as compared with Rs168.2 billion in the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year.

    The decline in revenue collection was mainly due to slowdown in the economy in the start of the fiscal year 2019/2020 which resulted in fall in country’s import bill during the period. However, this impact was further worsened following the coronavirus pandemic.

    The FBR also witnessed 52.5 percent decline in advance tax collection from cash withdrawal during the period under review. The revenue authority collected Rs12.7 billion during first nine months of the fiscal year 2019/2020 as compared with Rs26.8 billion in the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year.

    The SBP report stated that with the abolishment of advance tax on banking transaction for filers in Finance Supplementary (Second Amendment) Bill, 2019, the collection from cash withdrawal declined by 52.5 percent during Jul-Mar FY20 as compared to a rise of 7.8 percent in the review period.

    Collection from contracts grew by 5.5 percent during Jul-Mar FY20 in contrast to a decline of 15.3 percent in the corresponding period last year.

    This is largely due to higher PSDP releases during the period under review.

  • Revenue collection registers 27pc growth in first month of 2020/2021

    Revenue collection registers 27pc growth in first month of 2020/2021

    ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has started the fiscal year 2020/2020 with 27 percent growth in revenue collection for July 2020.

    The FBR collected Rs300 billion in July 2020 as compared with Rs236 billion in the same month of the last year, according to provisional figures released by the FBR on Thursday.

    Another significance of the monthly collection, the FBR has surpassed the assigned target for the month of July 2020 by Rs57 billion.

    The revenue collection target for the month was set at Rs243 billion. However, with the improved economic activities after ease in lockdown the FBR managed to reach Rs300 billion mark, which is 125 percent of the target.

    The Inland Revenue overshot the target by Rs52 billion, whereas the Customs Wing exceeded the target by Rs5 billion.

    To redress the hardships of the business community caused by Covid-19, an unprecedented amount of refunds to the tune of Rs15 billion have been disbursed during July 2020, as compared to refunds of Rs.7 billion during July 2019.

    Sales Tax refunds are being issued under centralized and automated system called FASTER which is clearing refunds to exporters within 72 hours for the first time as committed by the Government in July, 2020.

    This has facilitated the exporters and the industry easing off their liquidity crunch.

    According to the official figure, total customs duty collected during July, 2020 is over Rs. 42 billion which is 6 percent higher than that collected in same period of July 2019. This is despite the fact that there is less than 1 percent growth in import values during this period.

    The higher growth in FBR revenues is primarily on account of better supervision and improved administrative controls despite economic conditions caused by Covid-19 during which the country mostly remained in lockdown state.

    The revenue trajectory also beat the adverse impact of governments’ import compression policy.

    FBR is also engaging with trade and industry to mitigate their genuine grievances.

    FBR is proactively reaching out to Trade and Industry and resolving their issues. FBR has also launched an unprecedented crackdown on corruption dismissing and suspending about a dozen officers and officials only during the month of July 2020.

    FBR offices to observe normal office timings after Eid holidays

  • FBR directs completing inquiries against officials on urgent basis

    FBR directs completing inquiries against officials on urgent basis

    ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has directed inquiry officers to complete their reports on an urgent basis against officials allegedly involved in misconduct.

    In a notification issued on Wednesday stated that inquiry officers were not complying to instructions in completing their reports after lapse of time and with inordinate delay.

    The FBR said: “Whereas it is understood that Government Servants Efficiency & Disciplinary (E&D) Rules, 1973, themselves do not unequivocally provide a time frame within which an inquiry has to be completed, however, the urgency in completing the inquiries is implicit in procedure provided under Rule 6 of the E&D Rules, whereby it has been instructed that an ‘inquiry officer or committee, as the case may be, shall hear the case from day to day basis and no adjournment shall be given except for reasons to be recorded in writing.”

    The FBR further said that the Prime Minister’s Officer, through the Cabinet Division, had directed that all enquiries initiated under the E&D Rules, pending in any level beyond three months, shall be finalized on merit, and submitted to the concerned quarters within 90 working days.

    Furthermore, appointment as an inquiry officer under the relevant rules is a sacred trust, bearing both responsibilities, to the State, the nation and the department, and obligations – to be fair, impartial and just, the FBR said.

    “It is again noted with concern that inquiry reports being received by the board and being submitted to authorized officers in the field formations do not qualify against the basic benchmark,” the FBR said, adding that in so many cases, inquiry officers have not established the charges leveled, citing inability or failure on part of the DR to provide a certain document or prove the charge.

    “It should be noted that an inquiry officer is not a judge presiding over an adversarial judicial system where two different parties have to prove or disprove their case.”

    As the title itself implies, an inquiry officer has to inquire into the subject matter and, under Rule 7 of the E&D Rules, 1973, can exercise the powers to ‘summon any person, required production of documents, and receive evidence, the FBR said.

    The FBR said that it expects the inquiry officers shall actively inquire into and apply an independent mind to arrive at a conclusion and not rely only on the ability of the DR to prove or disprove the charges leveled.
