TYPES OF WHT
Withholding tax has two forms
i. DEDUCTION OF TAX
ii. COLLECTION OF TAX

Taxation system of Pakistan
Example: when salary is paid to employee by the employer, tax is deducted. Gross salary is Rs.100/- and tax
deducted Rs.10/-. Rs.90 will be given to the employee and Rs. 10/- will be treated as deduction of tax. Employer is
withholding agent in this case.
Example: Mr. Rasheed has won a prize bond of Rs.10,000/-. He went to State Bank of Pakistan for encashment. SBP
deducted tax Rs.1,500/- (15% x 10,000) while making payment to him. This is deduction of tax and SBP is
withholding agent.

expenditure.

charges and Rs.200/- is tax. Mr. Bill gate paid Rs.2,200/-, tax collected by PTCL being withholding agent, is
Rs.200/-. This is not final tax liability rather advance tax collected.
Example: similarly, tax paid along with cell phone, (pre-paid and post-paid), gas bills and electricity bills are some
examples collection of taxes.
Example: Mr. Basheer earned Rs.1,000/- from his business and Rs.500/- from growing of rice. His total income is
Rs.1,500/- and Taxable income is Rs.1,000/-. Assume 10% tax rate is applicable on his taxable income. His tax
liability will be Rs. 100/- (1,000 x 10%).
Example: Mr. Basheer earned Rs.1,000/- from his business and Rs.500/- from growing of rice. His total income is
Rs.1,500/- and Taxable income is Rs.1,000/-. Assume 10% tax rate is applicable on his taxable income. His tax

Rs.502,000/-. Tax deposited Rs.2,000/- is allowed as an expense because according to section 13, tax

Sales Tax
Sales Tax
Part – 1 Explanation & Understanding (not to be crammed)
The concept of Sales tax is closely related to profit and loss account as prepared in financial accounting. In
profit and loss account we deduct expenditures from revenue (sales) to arrive at profit or loss. Similarly in
sales tax we deduct input tax (sales tax on expenditures) from output tax (sales tax on revenue).
Sales Rupees
Sale of goods 900,000
Less: Sales Returns (30,000)
Net Sales 870,000
Less: Expenditures
Purchases 220,000
Less: Purchases Returns (20,000)
Imports 150,000
Electricity Exp. 70,000
Suigas Exp. 30,000
Printing and Stationery Exp. 10,000
Salaries and Wages 120,000
Depreciation 25,000
605,000
Profit / ( Loss ) 265,000
We are familiar with sales & expenditures now look into the idea of output tax & input tax which is the
foundation of sales tax liability.
According to Sales Tax Laws “output tax” (Sales X Sales Tax Rate) is the tax on supply
Supply includes:
Supply of Goods and Services
Goods Taken by owners (drawings)
Goods taken by employees
Less: Returns
Difference:

Sales Tax
In accounting we just take the sales and supplies values which meet the accounting criteria and drawings &
goods given to employees are not considered sales. Whereas, in sales tax all goods which are carried out of
the stock of the business are subject to sales tax provisions, whether sold or taken by owner or employees.
In accounting we simply take the supply value of goods and services but in sales tax we take the tax amount
on the supply value. Like in accounting Rs.900,000/- is the value whereas in Sales Tax Rs. 153,000/- (
900,000 x 17% ) is output tax. (Current sales tax rate is 17%).
In the above example sale is Rs-900,000 and output tax is Rs 153,000.
Purchases
Imports
Salaries and wages
Printings and stationery
Depreciation
etc.
Input tax means tax paid or payable on expenditures e.g. tax paid on purchases is Rs.37,400/- (220,000 x
17%). Keep in mind we deduct all expenditures from sales but we don’t pay sales tax on all expenditures. It
means we consider only those expenditures on which we pay sales tax and ignore all others.
A list of expenditures is given below:
Expenditures Subject to
Sales Tax
Purchases Yes
Imports Yes
Electricity Expenditures Yes
Sui Gas Exp. Yes
Clearing Agent Fee Yes
Courier Charges Yes
Printing and Stationery Yes
Salaries and Wages No
Depreciation No
Interest No
Difference:
In accounting we deduct expenditures without any conditions but in SALES TAX LAWS we consider tax on
expenditures (Input Tax) IF THEY MEET THE CONDITIONS (see heart rule of input tax).

Sales Tax
Above discussion shows that output tax is on sales and input tax is on expenditure like sales
Now apply sales tax rate on the P/L to arrive at sales tax liability
53 | P a g e
Sales Tax
Assume a complete supply chain from importer to consumer. Sale of one person is the purchase of
other person; output of one person is the input of other person. It is worth mentioning that the total
tax deposited in government treasury is Rs.3,400/-, this is the same amount which is paid by
consumer. So, the tax paid by importer is recovered from wholesales, tax paid by wholesaler is
recovered from retailor and tax paid by the retailor is recovered from consumer and the whole tax
burden is born by the consumer. This is reason why sale tax is called in-direct tax.
Supply chain (when goods are taxable and not mentioned under 3rd Schedule)
Supply chain (when goods are taxable and mentioned under 3rd Schedule)
Assume that goods are mentioned under third schedule and raw material is purchased by the
manufacturer to produce these goods. The whole tax is paid by the manufacturer.
