Sales Tax (SRO 603) - Farhan2009 - 07-02-2009

Salam to all,
Any body have read SRo 603(I)/2009 regarding the withholding agent? Now LTU companies has been included in withholding agent. Any LTU Unit making purchases from Unregistered persons will deduct sales at the applicable rete and deposit the same and claim input.
MY QUESTION IS HOW IT IS POSSIBEL IN CASE OF CASH AND PETTY PURCHASES TO DEDUCT SALES TAX AT THE APPLICABLE RATE? DONTYOU THINK ITS SIMPLY A BURDON ON LTUs?

ONE MORE THING IS THERE ANY SALES TAX ON ADVERTISEMENT SERVICES RECEIVED BY THE COMPANIES?
ANYBODY WILL TELL ME THE REFERNCE ON WHICH SERVICES SALES TAX APPLIES?

- Omeir - 08-06-2009

(3) A withholding agent, including a person registered in a Large Taxpayers Unit and a recipient of advertisement services, who purchases goods and services from unregistered person, shall deduct sales tax at the applicable rate of the value of taxable supplies made to him from the payment due to the supplier
Provided that a person registered in a Large Taxpayers Unit shall be entitled to adjustment of sales tax so deducted by him from the output tax due, subject to the conditions specified in sections 7, 8, 8B and 73 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990, and the rules made thereunder.

The above referes to a part of the SRO. Does it mean that any withholding agent who cannot adjust the sales tax will not deduct the sales tax? Please reply urgently

- LapTop - 08-06-2009

According to this Para,

Any withholding agent who purchases goods and services from unregistered person, shall deduct sales tax at the applicable rate of the value of taxable supplies made to him from the payment due to the supplier

 Exemple
Value of Supplies 100,000/-
Withholding amount @ 16%- 16,000/-
Agent Shell pay to supplier- 84,000/-

Other Then LTU any withholding Agent shell pay withheld amount to FBR along with sales tax return for withholding Agents.

LTU shell file just sales tax return and this withheld amount put in column number 18.

Well Mr laptop,
this is an ideal case, you withheld the amount of supplier and pay the sales tax. What will be the procedure if LTU taxpayer bear the cost as the un registered are not ready for deduction on the other side they will increase the cost and the ultimate burdon is on LTUs. can the LTUs claim input if they pay the amount like this???????and how it will be claimed in Sales tax return?????

Value of Supplies 100,000/-
Withholding amount @ 16%- 16,000/-
Agent Shell pay to supplier- 100,000/-
i am waiting for yor expert advise MR. Laptop.
Regards,

is the part highlighted in Red still applicable or has it been withdrawn?

if applicable, then my question is this

what is being talked here is that an LTU person should deduct sales tax FROM payment made BY him.......but in provisio it is said that the LTU will be entitled to adjustment of this tax from his output tax...how is it possible that a person is deducting a tax from someone else and then claiming it as an adjustment from his own output?
