    Through the Finance Act, 2021 the tax rates have been imposed for the year 2021/2022 and onwards. Initially, these rates were imposed through the Tax Laws (Amendment) Ordinance, 2021 for a period of 90 days.

    The  Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) collects the withholding tax under Section 231B (2A) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

    Every motor vehicle registration authority of Excise and Taxation Department shall, at the time of registration, collect tax at the rates specified in Division VII of Part IV of the First Schedule, if the locally manufactured motor vehicle has been sold prior to registration by the person who originally purchased it from the local manufacturer.

    The provincial excise and taxation authorities collect tax on behalf of the FBR from persons getting new locally manufactured motor vehicles transferred in their name at the time of registration of the new motor vehicles.

    Highlights of relief in duty, taxes for import, local supply of cars

    KARACHI: The government has proposed relief in duty and taxes on import and local supply of motor cars up to 850CC in order to enable lower income group to purchase the motor vehicles.

    According to a commentary on budget 2021/2022 issued by KPMG Taseer Hadi & Co. Chartered Accountants, in recent years, the prices of automobiles in Pakistan have seen a sharp rise due to multiple factors, making them unaffordable for common man.

    The Finance Bill 2021 proposes to rationalize the tariff structure of the automobile sector in order to address this matter in the following manner:

    For motor vehicles up to 850cc, the Bill proposes to abolish import taxes including minimum value addition tax. In the case of locally manufactured vehicles with engine capacity upto 850cc, the Bill proposes to reduce sales tax from 17 percent to 12.5 percent and abolish federal excise duty.

    In case of local supply of locally manufactured Electric Vehicles (EV) i.e., small cars or SUVs with battery capacity up to 50 kwh and Light Commercial Vehicles(LCV)with battery capacity up to 150 kwh, the Finance Bill 2021 proposes to levy sales tax at reduced rate of 1 percent whereas import of the same is excluded from minimum value addition tax with 25 percent reduction in custom duty till 30.06.2026.

    However, import of CKD kits for these EVs is proposed to be taxed at reduced customs duty rate of 1 percent with exemption / exclusion from chargeability of sales taxand minimum value addition tax.

    In addition, the Bill proposes to reduce sales tax on Hybrid Electric cars with capacity up to 1800 cc to 8.5 percent.

    The Bill further proposes to reduce levy of minimum tax on turnover from 1.5 percent to 0.25 percent in case of persons engaged in sale and purchase of used vehicles while also abolishing withholding of income tax on purchase of used vehicles from general public.

    However, the collection of advance tax is proposed to be made from the original purchaser who sells it without registration, at the rates ranging from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 200,000.

    Inland Revenue examines persons buying motor vehicles through customs auction

    KARACHI: The office of Inland Revenue (IR) of Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has launched examination of persons who purchased large number of vehicles through customs auctions.

    Sources in IR said on Monday that the probe had been initiated on the directives of the Federal Tax Ombudsman (FTO) regarding some bidders were frequently indulged in participating in bidding and buying large number of vehicles.

    The FTO in a case of stuck up motor vehicles at ports, which were brought into Pakistan through personal baggage, transfer of residence or under gift schemes in violation of SRO 52(I)/2019 dated January 15, 2019 issued by the ministry of commerce.

    As per details till November 25, 2020 the number of stuck up vehicles were 587 at the MCC East and West. Around 167 vehicles were auctioned till the date under review.

    During the investigation of the case the FTO was told that a small number of so-call professional bidders purchased large number of vehicles regularly and then sell the same on huge profit in the open market.

    “One of the reasons of purchase of vehicles by these bidders is that many interested persons from the general public either do not possess NTN or they don’t want to bring their names on record due to various reasons including subsequent taxation, hence, they prefer to purchase goods or vehicles through these bidders,” the FTO was informed.

    The FTO was further informed that 62 bidders had purchased 167 vehicles auctioned during the period from July to November 2020, which 20 bidders purchased 117 vehicles.

    The sources said that the FTO was told that an e-auction was to be introduced by the FBR and in this regard SRO 1174(I)/2020 dated October 26, 2020 was already issued.

    However, date for implementation of e-auction rules would not be notified by the FBR later on as the e-auction module is still under development.

    Customs authorities assured the FTO stating that after implementation of e-auction, the goods ripe for auction would be disposed of without delay, besides, the mafia of professional bidders would be addressed, resulting in improvement in revenue realization.

    The findings of the FTO revealed: “During investigation, another aspect came to surface i.e. whether the bidders who participate in the auction proceedings declare their economic activities in their income tax returns.

    “It is most probable that these economic activities may not be monitored by the IRS Wing, which if monitored carefully with due diligence may enhance legitimate revenue of the government.

    “Thus, there is a need to share data/information with the concerned field formations of Inland Revenue so that this sector is brought into the tax net.”

    The FTO recommended that the Collector, MCC Appraisement and Facilitation East and West, Karachi to pass on information about the bidders who participated in auctions on regular basis to respective IRS field formations.
