It is very easy for importer to get exemption certificate from Income Tax Comissioner. Under section 159 of Income Tax Ordinance and Under Rule 40 of Income Tax Rules,2002 you may apply for the issuance of exemption certificate on prescribed application form. The application form for grant of exemption certificate is provided in income tax rules see Part VII of First Shedule of Income Tax Rules,2002.
I have come to know that an importer can only give an undertaking u/s 49 if the profit margin is 12% or less. Otherwise you cannot supply on a profit margin of more than 12%.
Sorry I had clicked submit before i could finish.
What i wish to know is that i find it absurd that i cannot sell on a margin greater than 12%.
This i can accept that if i supply at a greater margin then i have to pay more tax.

Please can anyone refer me to the exact law.

Section 49 is relating to the income of Federal,Provincial and Local Government. Give exact reference.
Dear Awais,

Sorry i meant u/s 148.
The scenario is such that i am a commercial importer and pay advance income tax at import stage u/s 148, hence when i supply i give an undertaking that my 3.5% tax u/s 153 should not be deducted as paid u/s 148. Now i have come to know that i can only give an undertaking when i have supplied with 12% profit or less; otherwise i cannot supply.

I need clarification for this.
In light of <i><b>SRO Notification No_ S_R_O_ 97(I)-2002, dated 12th February, 2002_(IT) and Circular No_ 05 of 2002 (IT)</b></i> a Commercial Importer doest not need any Exemption Certificate from Tax Authorities. You jsut issue a Undertaking that comapny/AOP has paid advance tax at import stage and supply theses goods without value addition.
