GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN REVENUE DIVISION CENTRAL BOARD OF REVENUE
C.No.1(13)WHT/2000
Islamabad, January 31, 2003
CIRCULAR NO. 1 OF 2003.
(INCOME TAX)

SUBJECT:

INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED THROUGH CBR CIRCULAR NO.6 OF 2002 – CLARIFICATION REGARDING.

 For the purpose of solving problems faced by many tax payers of Pakistan and the  AJ&K, the following instructions were issued through CBR Circular No.6 of 2002 dated May 04, 2002:-

(i) Competent Tax Authorities of Pakistan and AJ&K will issue the exemption certificate to their taxpayers in suitable cases as per the provisions of law/rules under various provisions of Income Tax Ordinance, 1979, and both authorities would accept these certificates as such.

(ii) Credit of taxes paid in Pakistan and AJ&K will be allowed by the respective tax authorities on basis of original challans of payment and after necessary verification.

2. There is an apprehension among the tax payers that because of the word “henceforth” as used in the said circular the above instructions are not applicable to the exemption certificates issued or tax paid prior to the date of the above referred circular.

3. The above circular was issued as a result of detailed deliberations in the meeting between AJ&K Council and CBR held on October 8, 2001 to ameliorate the problems of taxpayers and it was agreed to accept exemption certificates issued and allow credit of tax paid in the past as well as in the future. In order to eliminate such apprehension, it is, therefore, clarified that instructions contained in the said circular are equally applicable to the exemption certificates issued and tax paid even prior to the date of 4th May, 2002.

4. It is further clarified that the corresponding provisions of new Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, are also equally applicable in this regard.
