Income tax receivable (i) In respect of tax year, the department has, against taxable income of Rs. 1, million as per return filed by the Company, assessed a taxable income of Rs. 2, million and amended the deemed order for the year raising a tax demand of Rs million. In this order, the income tax department has disallowed various expenses and deductions amounting to Rs. 1, million including disallowances on account of allocation of various expenses towards dividend income amounting to Rs. 1, million, where as minimum tax credit has been disallowed amounting to Rs million. The Company is contesting the above order before Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals) and has not made any provision against the above demand or disallowances as the management is confident that the ultimate outcome of the appeals would be in favour of the Company, inter alia on the basis of the advice of the tax consultant and the relevant law and the facts. (ii) In respect of tax year 2014, the department has, against taxable loss of Rs million as per return filed by the Company, assessed a taxable income of Rs billion and amended the deemed order for the year raising a tax demand of Rs million. In this order, among other issues, the income tax department has not accepted the Company s contention for non-taxation of the transfer of paper & paperboard and corrugated business segments to Bulleh Shah Packaging (Private) Limited ('BSPPL') under section 97 of the Ordinance. Such transfer has been taxed as capital gain on the value of assets transferred. The matter is currently being contested before the Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals). The Company is contesting the above orders before Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals) and has not made any provision against the above demand or disallowances as the management is confident that the ultimate outcome of the appeals would be in favor of the Company, inter alia on the basis of the advice of the tax consultant and the relevant law and the facts.

The assessments for these years were revised by the ITO on these grounds and taxes reassessed were adjusted against certain sales tax refunds and the tax credits previously determined by the ITO and set off against the assessments framed for these years. The Company had filed an appeal against the revised orders of the ITO before the then Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) ['CIT(A)'], Karachi. CIT(A) in his order issued in 1988, held the assessments reframed by the ITO for the years 1983 and 1984 presently to be void and of no legal effect. The ITO has filed an appeal against the CIT(A) s order with the then Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ('ITAT'). The ITAT has in its order issued in 1996 maintained the order of CIT(A). The assessing officer after the receipt of the appellate order passed by CIT(A), had issued notices under section 65 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 1979 and the Company had filed a writ petition against the aforesaid notices with the High Court of Sindh, the outcome of which is still pending. 18

19 The amount recoverable Rs million represents the additional taxes paid as a result of the disallowance of the tax credits on reframing of the assessments. The Company has not made any provision against the above order as the management is confident that the ultimate outcome of the writ petition would be in favor of the Company, inter alia on the basis of the advice of the tax consultant and the relevant law and the facts.
