It is clarified that Sindh Revenue Board (SRB)'s notification No S.R.B-3-4/3/2011 Dated: 26-08-2011, on the subject of relief and exemption, in the matter of Sales Tax on Services to the providers of construction and contractual services on supplies, has been made applicable with "immediate effect" ie from August 26 and not from July 1. Thus exemption or relief has been granted, prospectively.
The news item in the matter of the appearing in some leading newspapers and also on the front pages (pages 1 and 35) of the "Daily Business Recorder", dated: 30-08-2011, gives impression that notification would apply retroactively from 01-07-2011. This impression is not correct. The SRB clarifies for the benefit of all that the notification is applicable with the date it is issued-PR
