LAHORE: Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has again extended the due dates of tax payment and filing of returns for the tax period July, 2012 under the Punjab Sales Tax on Services Act, 2012 and rules made there under. 

According to a PRA spokesperson the Authority has taken this step to facilitate the taxpayers and the new date for payment and e-filing of returns is September 07, 2012.

This extension has been granted in view of the fact that the PRA has started collection of Punjab sales tax with effect from July, 2012 and there are several taxpayers who are still obtaining their e-enrolments on PRA web-portal. They are re-arranging their tax records to work out the tax liabilities of Punjab sales tax and have approached the PRA for further extension of the due date for the tax period of July, 2012. This extension of due date is available to all categories of registered person including withholding agents. PRA’s help line 042-37111632 and e-mail facility on esupport@pra.punjab.gov.pk shall remain open and available round the clock. The taxpayers may immediately obtain their e-enrolments, make payments of due tax amounts and file their Punjab sales tax returns, the spokesperson concluded.
