Power generation, the most influential factor toward economic growth and progress has suffers
a lot in last decade and still a problematic symbol. However in current scenarios the GOP is
taking bold steps to evolve the shortcoming of power in order to stabilize the economic growth.
Its contribution in industrial sector is 9.15 percent and the share in the GDP is 1.9 percent. Thissub-sector has registered growth at 3.72 percent as compared to negative growth of 16.33
percent during last year, however Government has developed National Power Policy (2013)
which provides a roadmap for providing affordable energy in the country through efficient
generation, transmission and distribution system.
During the last two decades most of the developing countries are slackening the foreign direct
investment policy in order to attract the foreign investors to take part in their economic growth
as well, Pakistan as a trade hub in South Asia is also following the liberalize the foreign
investment policy. Total investment witnessed a growth of 8.5 percent as compared to 8.4
percent last year. Public investment recorded an impressive growth rate at 17.12 percent as
compared to (- 0.35) percent last year The FDI over the past five years remained slow due tonumber of internal and external factors. The present government’s resolve is to restore investor
confidence and create an enabling environment for foreign investment. Significant signs of
recovery can be seen in the capital market growth which has reached to new height and
emitting positive signals.
During the current FY positive developments have been witnessed on monetary side, as
government not only contained its borrowing from SBP for budgetary support but was also able
to achieve the target set under IMF condition by end March, 2014.
Inflation a hot topic now a days in developing economy like Pakistan, Hike in prices has been
absorbed in last two three years which has demolished all economic activity in the country as
the cost effectiveness is great problem for existing businesses and new investors as well.
Current GOP has taken some effective measures to reduce the inflationary factor to some
extent. Overview of inflationary trends during ten months of the current FY (July-April) 2013-14,
indicates that inflation moved at slow pace on account of improved supply position of essential
items and declining trend in major global commodities prices. Due to this slow trend the
inflation rate was recorded at 8.7 percent on average basis during July-April, 2013-14, over an
increase of 7.7 percent of corresponding period.
Government of Pakistan has tried to step forward for preventive measures and to formulate economic
policies to attract foreign investors, making economy documented to ensure mainstreamed in the
economically and socially vulnerable sectors of the economy and to steer Pakistan towards real
economic development. Efforts are underway to attain goals of sustainable social and economicdevelopment, ensuring water, food, energy and environment securities, without over-exploiting forests
and ecosystems, to meet the needs of present and future generations.

The finance bill proposed to charge, collect and pay sales tax ranging from Rs.150/- per phone to Rs.
500/- per phone on supply and import stage subject to some conditions and restrictions as given in ninth
schedule of Sales Tax Act, 1990. The liability of payment of sales tax will be on importer in case of importand in case of registration of new International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number , liability of
payment of tax will be on Cellular Mobile Operator. Currently these rates are applicable on mobile /
cellular phones under SRO.460(I)/2013, dated 30 May 2014 and now proposed to be embedded under
Ninth Schedule to the Act, subject to similar conditions.
sales Tax on CNG Stations Section 3(8)
Section 3(8) was inserted vide Finance Act, 2013, whereby the Gas Transmission and Distribution
Company was subjected to charge and pay sales tax on supply of natural gas to CNG stations at 9
percent in addition to standard sales tax at 17 percent. After the decision by apex court againstadditional sales tax of 9% the subsection was substituted through Sales Tax (Amendment) Ordinance
2014 , dated March 24, 2014 and this section was substituted to require the Gas Transmission and
Distribution Company to charge sales tax at 17 percent on its bills to CNG stations, on the value of
supply to CNG Consumers as notified by the Board from time to time. Now in order to give the legal
cover to earlier amendment made vide Sales Tax (Amendment ) Ordinance, 2014 this amendment is
proposed.
sales Tax for Retailers Section 3(9))
The Bill proposes to introduce two tier system for taxation of retailers by insertion of new sub-section
(9) to Section 3 of the Act and simultaneously exemption threshold of Rs.5 million as provided underTable-2 of the Sixth Schedule to the Act is proposed to be withdrawn.
Under first tier, the large retailers having outlets operating as part of national or multi-national chains,
or located in air-conditioned malls, having facilities of debit / credit cards, would be subject to sales tax
@ 17 percent under normal sales tax regime. Accordingly, amendments in Chapter-II [Special Procedure
for Retailers] of Sales Tax Special Procedure Rules, 2007 will be effected in due course.
Under second tier, the small retailers would be subject to sales tax at reduced rates, to be charged and
paid through monthly electricity bills as follows:
• sales tax @ 5% If monthly electricity bill does not exceed Rs.20,000
• sales tax @ 7.5% If monthly electricity bill exceeds Rs.20,000
Sales tax collectible on electricity bills would be in addition to sales tax applicable under Sections
3(1), 3(1A) and 3(5) of the Act. This amendment will take effect from July 01, 2014.

In certain situations, the courts direct the taxpayers to deposit the disputed tax money which was

Sales Tax Act
Tariq Mian Ramzan Arshad & Co. Cost and Management Accountant s Page 19
charged and collected from the customers with the Court, till the time the appeal is decided. To cater
this situation, Section 3B(2) is proposed to be substituted to clarify that sales tax
collected as ‘excess tax’ shall be deemed to be an arrear of tax or charge payable to FederalGovernment and any claim for refund of such excess tax shall neither be admissible to the registered
person, nor payable to any court of law or to any person under direction of the court.
The Bill also seeks to give overriding effect to this provision without prejudice to any other law or
judgment of the court including Supreme Court and High Court. The legal sanctity of the proposed
substitution however appears debatable, considering that the jurisdiction of superior courts, being the
ultimate interpretational authority, should override the tax statues. Earlier this subsection was
substituted through Sales Tax (Amendment) Ordinance, 2014.
Further Tax and Admissibility of Input Tax Section 7(1) andsection 7(2)(iiia)
It is proposed that 1% further tax charged to unregistered persons shall not be part of out put tax, which
implies that the registered person will not be entitled to deduct input tax from the further tax as
charged and collected from unregistered persons during the tax period. As such, any collection of
further tax in a reporting month, will be payable with the return even if excess input tax arises in any tax
period. This seems to be harsh provision.
Subsection (2) of Section 7 prescribes certain conditions for admissibility of input tax against out put tax
i.e possession of valid sales tax invoice, goods declaration for imports, treasury challans for auctiongoods etc. The Bill seeks to insert a new clause (iiia) under Section 7(2) to restrict undue input tax claims
. Input tax adjustment is proposed to be restricted only to the extent of goods and services actually used
in manufacturing /sales of the taxable activity. Following additional conditions are required to be
fulfilled by the registered person while claiming input tax on acquisition of goods and services in order
to validate his claim.
(a) Imported or purchased for the purpose of sale or re-sale by the registered person on payment
of tax;
(b) used directly as raw material, ingredient, part, component or packing material by the registered
person in the manufacture or production of taxable goods;
(c) electricity, natural gas and other fuel consumed directly by the registered person in his declared
business premises for the manufacture, production or supply of taxable goods; or
(d) plant, machinery and equipment used by the registered person in his declared business
premises for the manufacture, production or supply of taxable goods.

Inadmissible Input Tax Credit Section 8
Bill seeks to propose that the negative list of goods on which input tax is not admissible as mentioned
under SRO.490(I)/2004 is to be covered through Section 8 of the Act. As such new clauses from (f) to (i)
are proposed to be inserted in Section 8(1) of the Act, as reproduced below:
(f) goods and services not related to the taxable supplies made by the registered person;
(g) goods and services acquired for personal or non-business consumption;
(h) goods used in, or permanently attached to, immoveable property, such as building and
construction materials, paint, electrical and sanitary fittings, pipes, wires and cables, but

such vehicles, electrical and gas appliances, furniture, furnishings, office equipment (excluding electronic

Posting of Inland Revenue Officer to monitor Production Section 40B
Finance Bill seeks to insert an explanation in section 40B to empower the inland revenue officers to
monitor production, sale of taxable goods and stock position without obtaining warrants from
Magistrate under section 40 of the Act
Electronic Scrutiny and Intimation System Section 50B
Bill seek to introduce electronic scrutiny and intimation system and it will conduct all checks and analysis
objectively and will issue electronic intimation to the taxpayer. This system will facilitate automated
scrutiny, analysis and cross matching of returns and other available data of registered person and then
sending intimations electronically to such registered persons about the issue detected. The intimation so
transmitted shall either be in the form of instruction or advance notice allowing the registered person to
clarify his position or rectify the mistake before any legal proceeding. The Board may also prescribe
procedures for efficient operation of the proposed computerized system.
Normal Taxation for Aerated Water Production Capacity (Aerated
Water) Rules, 2013
Capacity based tax regime was introduced under FED and Sales Tax on Production Capacity (Aerated
Waters) Rules, 2013, which were challenged before the superior courts. The Hon’ble Lahore High Court
held such regime beyond the scope of charging provisions of sales tax law. As such, the budgetary
measures reflect that the afore-said Rules are being rescinded to bring the taxation of aerated waters
under normal sales tax regime. However, the notification to this effect is still awaited.
