    Furthermore, it is observed that the company had received revenue consideration of Rs72.05 million during the tax period from January 2018 to February 2019 but the taxpayer declared the sales of Rs16.89 million during the tax periods leading to short declaration of sales Rs55.15 million.

    The SRB directed the company to take remedial action by April 04, 2019 for paying dues along with surcharges and e-file true and correct monthly sales tax returns.

    In the case of New Darwesh Goods Transport Company, the SRB said that the taxpayer had failed to declare any sales during the tax period from March 2018 to February 2019, despite the fact that it had received consideration of Rs13.66 million during January 2018 up to December 2018, which revealed short declaration of sales by it.

    The SRB had directed the company to submit a copy of income tax return of tax year 2017/2018 along with summary list of invoices in order to ascertain their Sindh sales tax dues, but it failed to make compliance.
