Simplified sales tax statement forms issued

Published August 23, 2006 Updated August 23, 2006 12:00am

The Central Board of Revenue (CBR) has issued simplified forms of quarterly and annual statements for commercial importers engaged in import and local supply of zero-rated items.
The Board on Tuesday issued Sales Tax Circular No 5 of 2006 to prescribe new 'Annex 'B' and 'C' for the importers dealing in zero-rated products.
Under the Sales Tax Special Procedures, 2006, commercial importers are required to submit detailed quarterly statements as Annex 'B' and annual statement as Annex 'C' on the prescribed format. The objective of issuing the Annexures B and C is to ensure payment of sales tax on the basis of actual value-addition made by commercial importers during a financial year.
A number of commercial importers engaged in import and supply of zero-rated items had approached the Board taking the plea that in their case there was no question of subsequent payment of sales tax on the basis of value-addition; thus a simplified procedure be adopted for such importers.
Keeping in view the plea of the commercial importers, the Board has prepared Annex B and C, as given below, for importers to be submitted under ST Special Procedures Rules, 2006, in lieu of the existing 'Annex B and C'.
