Explanations:
VALUE OF A TAXABLE SUPPLY:
The consideration in money including all Federal and Provincial duties and taxes, if any, which the supplier receives from the recipient for that supply but excluding the amount of sales tax.
VALUE BY FBR:
The FBR has power to fix the value of any imported goods or taxable supplies. However, if the import or supply is made at a value higher than the value fixed by the FBR then the actual value shall be considered.
| FBR has fixed the value of certain items for the purpose of sales tax e.g. minimum value of locally produced coal vided SRO 532 dated 11-06-2008 |
TRADED DISCOUNTS:
Trade discount shall be excluded provided that;
- the tax invoice shows the discounted price and the related tax and
- the discount allowed is in conformity with the normal business practices;
| Note for students:
– Discount shall be not considered for 3rd schedule items as the manufacturer is supposed to charge sales tax on recommended retail price instead of his own value of supply. – Early payment discount is not considered as in this case the invoice does not show the discounted price |
Cases in which the value of supply shall be a different amount;
- NORMAL CASE
The consideration in money including all Federal and Provincial duties and taxes, if any, which the supplier receives in respect of supply but excluding the amount of sales tax. And Mark up on credit sales shall not be taken into value of supply – clause 5 of General Order 3 of 2004.
- CONSIDERATION IS FULLY OR PARTLY IN KIND:
Open market price of the supply excluding the amount of tax;
- TAXABLE SUPPLY IS MADE TO A CONSUMER FROM GENERAL PUBLIC ON INSTALLMENT BASIS ON A PRICE INCLUSIVE OF MARK UP OR SURCHARGE RENDERING IT HIGHER THAN OPEN MARKET PRICE,
The value of supply shall mean the open market price of the supply excluding the amount of tax.
- SUPPLY BETWEEN ASSOCIATED PERSONS:
The value of supply shall be as in normal case or open market price of the supply excluding the amount of tax.
- IMPORTED GOODS:
The value determined under section 25 of the Customs Act, including the amount of customs-duties and excise duty levied thereon;
Note: FED is applicable on value + custom duty
Example: the value of raw material importer is Rs. 1,000, custom duty 20%, FED 10%, Sales Tax 17% and advance income tax is 5.5%. The amount of sales tax in this case would be:
value of raw material imported Rs, 1,000
add: Custom Duty (@ 20%) Rs. 200
Rs. 1,200
Add: FED (Rs. 120) Rs. 1,320
Sales Tax (Rs. 1,320 x 17%) Rs. 224
Advance Income Tax [5.5% x (1,320+224)] Rs. 85
- IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE VALUE OF A SUPPLY HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTLY DECLARED IN THE INVOICE.
The value determined by the Valuation Committee comprising representatives of trade and the Inland Revenue constituted by the Commissioner.
- EXEMPT GOODS ARE SUPPLIED TO A REGISTERED PERSON FOR PROCESSING:
The price excluding the amount of sales tax [which such goods will fetch on sale in the market].
