PM Imran Khan PACKAGE FOR CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY, 2020

tax amnesty for construction industry by fbr

In an attempt to re-energize the economy after the outbreak of pandemic COVID-19, the Federal Government has promulgated the Tax Laws (Amendment) Ordinance, 2020 [the Ordinance] on 17 April 2020 with the object of promoting construction and allied industry in the country. This Ordinance is a step in the right direction to deal with the said crisis due to which industries, businesses, offices, services have also been shut down in Pakistan and economic activity is at a stand-still. Under these circumstances, the promulgation of said Ordinance offering tax reliefs to construction sector will serve as double-edged sword by meeting the shortage of houses in the country on one hand and creating employment opportunities for the poor and most vulnerable segments of the population, including the daily wagers in Pakistan. By way of the Ordinance, amendments have been made in the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 [Ordinance 2001] through insertion of new section 100D and Eleventh Schedule to give effect to income tax matters relating to builders, developers, first purchasers of plots and buildings in new projects and purchaser of plots who intends to construct building.

What is GST?

GST literally known as ‘general sales tax’ and in legal terms it refers to ‘sales tax’ which applies on goods and services where every supplier in a supply chain is to pass on burden of GST or sales tax to the buyer. It ends up when goods or services are delivered to ultimate or final consumer.

What is VAT in Pakistan?

VAT stands for value added tax as is universally accepted in all tax abiding countries. This levy is indirect in nature as burden of this levy is ultimately rooted to the end consumers. The description ‘value added tax’ is taken due to the reason that every supplier and/or service provider in a supply chain is required to impose this levy on the goods he supplies or service he provides so as to collect tax at a certain proportion of value which he adds to the goods or service he supplies.

This is also referred as ‘sales tax’, ‘GST’, ‘Indirect tax’ and ‘ service tax’.
