3 This Memorandum has been prepared as a general guide for the benefit of our clients and is available to other interested persons upon request. This should not be published in any manner without the Firm s consent. This is not an exhaustive treatise as it sets out interpretation of only the significant amendments proposed by the Sindh Finance Bill, 2017 (the Bill) in the Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011 (SSTS Act) in a concise form sufficient enough to amplify the important aspects of the changes proposed to be made. The Board means the Sindh Revenue Board and the Government means the Government of Sindh. without modification, become effective on and from 01 July 2017, unless otherwise indicated. It is suggested that the text of the Bill and the relevant laws and notifications, where applicable, be referred to in considering the interpretation of any provision. Since these are only general comments, no decision on any issue be taken without further consideration and specific professional advice should be sought before any action is taken. Changes of consequential, administrative, procedural or editorial in nature have either been excluded from these comments or dealt with brevity. The amendments proposed by the Bill after having been enacted as the Sindh Finance Act, 2017, shall, with or Contents Page Highlights I The Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act, Karachi: 07 June 2017
4 Highlights I THE SINDH SALES TAX ON SERVICES ACT, 2011 The general rate of Sindh sales tax i.e. 13% remains unchanged. The rate of sales tax on telecommunication services is proposed to be enhanced to 19.5%. Power of the Board to condone any time limit prescribed under any provision of the SSTS Act for registered persons, is now proposed to be bestowed on the tax authorities under the SSTS Act. The rate of sales tax on travel agents and tour operators is proposed to be reduced to 8%. The rate of sales tax on specific class of indenters, call centre and renting of immovable property is proposed to be reduced to 3%. The scope of definition of franchise is proposed to be extended to include services rendered without consideration. Scope of place of business is proposed to be extended to the business conducted through e-commerce and web portal. The scope of definition of the term programme is proposed to be extended. Both service provider and service recipient, are proposed to be jointly and severally liable, in case amount of sales tax, including withholding tax, is not paid within 180 days by recipient of services.

6 2 THE SINDH SALES TAX ON SERVICES ACT, Revision in rate of Sindh sales tax During the budget speech it has been announced that the general rate of sales tax of 13% on taxable services would remain unchanged. However, the rate of sales tax on certain services is proposed to be reduced. The only rate of sales tax which is increased is in respect of telecommunication services, which is proposed to be taxable at the rate of 19.5% instead of the current rate of 19%. These propositions have not been catered in the Bill and, we understand, this will come into effect through notifications issued by the Board. Following are the proposed amended rates of Sindh sales tax on services. Description of services Tariff Heading Existing Rate Proposed Rate Telecommunication % 19.5% Travel agent % 8% Tour operators % 8% Specific indenters % 3% Specific call center % 3% Renting of immovable property 2. Definition of franchise Section 2(46) % 3% The definition of the term franchise covers situations where certain rights to do business have been granted by a franchiser against a consideration or fee. Such consideration or fee will be treated as value of services for the levy of Sindh sales tax under the SSTS Act. The Bill now seeks to extend the definition of franchise to cover the situations where such rights will be granted without any consideration or fee. In accordance with these proposed amendments, it is important to highlight that a proviso to Rule 36(2) of the Sindh Sales Tax Rules, 2011 [the Rules] already provides that in cases of franchise where there is no formal agreement or the agreement between the franchiser and franchisee does not specify the amount of consideration (i.e. franchise fee or royalty), the value of services shall be an amount equal to 10% of the turnover of the franchisee during the relevant tax period or year. However, there has always been a question mark on whether the provisions of the Rules are corresponding with the definition of franchise under the SSTS Act, which only covers grants of right against consideration or fee. Thus, by way of the proposed amendment, the legislation intends to synchronize the definition of the term franchise with the deeming provisions under the Rule Definition of place of business Section 2(64) The Bill seeks to extend the definition of place of business by amending sub-clause (b) of sub-section (64) of Section 2 of the SSTS Act. Through the proposed amendment, a person carrying on economic activity through virtual presence or a website or a web-portal or through any other form of e-commerce etc. shall now be treated as having a place of business in Sindh under the SSTS Act. It seems that through the proposed amendment persons providing taxable services in Sindh through websites, applications or other forms of virtual e- commerce, without having any physical presence in Sindh, will now be treated as a person- having place of business in Sindh resident of Sindh liable to register under the SSTS Act, and; liable to discharge its Sindh sales tax liability in respect of such virtual economic activities. It would be noted that similar amendments have been proposed under the Punjab Sales Tax on Services Act, 2012 [PSTS Act], through the Punjab Finance Bill It is important to note that generally such virtual e- commerce platforms, websites, applications are owned and run by persons who are located outside the territorial jurisdiction of Sindh or Pakistan and having no physical presence in either Sindh or Pakistan. In such situation it remains to be seen as to how SRB will legally bound such persons located outside the territorial jurisdiction of Sindh to get registered with SRB. 4. Definition of programme Section 2(67B) Presently the definition of programme as provided under Section 2(67B) of the SSTS Act covers only audio or visual matter; live or recorded. Now the Bill seeks to extend the scope of definition of the term programme to include any audio or visual matter; re-recorded or subjected to any postproduction processes like dubbing, colouring, subtitling or captioning. Accordingly productions houses and programme producers involved in the above extended activities will also be required to charge Sindh sales tax at the applicable rate.
7 3 5. Person liable to pay tax Section 9(1) The Bill seeks to insert a new proviso along with two explanations in sub- section (1) of Section 9 of the SSTS Act which places the liability to pay Sindh sales tax on the registered person providing the services from his place of business in Sindh. The proposed amendment now makes liable both the services provider and recipient of services jointly and severally for the amount of tax in the situation where a registered person receiving the taxable services fails to make payment of the amount of tax to a service provider within 180 days from the date of the tax invoice; and the service provider has also not made the payment thereof within the prescribed due date. It is explained that, for the purpose of the proposed proviso, the amount of tax shall include the total amount of tax and also the amount of tax as was liable to be withheld or deducted by service recipient in terms of the Withholding Rules prescribed under section 13(2) of the SSTS Act. The Bill further explains that for the purpose of proposed proviso, the registered person shall include a person covered by the terminology withholding agent in terms of the Withholding Rules prescribed under Section 13(2) of the SSTS Act. Under the present provisions of Section 9(1), the registered service provider is liable to pay tax on taxable services rendered and SRB is empowered to recover any unpaid amount of sales tax only from the service provider. By virtue of the proposed amendments, SRB is now empowered to recover the unpaid amount of tax jointly, and severally, from the service provider or the recipient. We trust that the new powers would not be exploited by recovering the same amount of tax from both the service provider and the recipient. 6. Input tax credit not allowed Section 15A(1) The Bill seeks to insert a new sub- clause (jj) in subsection 1 of Section 15A which provides that a registered person shall not be entitled to claim, reclaim, adjust, deduct input tax in relation to specified goods or services. Through the proposed clause (jj) the registered person are barred from claim or adjustment of input tax paid (either federal or provincial) on acquiring of goods or services which are liable to sales tax at specific rate or at fixed rate or at such other rates not based on value or at a rate lesser than thirteen percent ad valorem. It would be noted that the sub- clause (jj), proposed to be inserted, is already available under the Rules 2011 being sub- rule (ii) of Rule 22A. Now this sub- Rule is being made part of the main legislation to provide legal cover to the existing rules. The Bill further seeks that a telecommunication service provider paying Sindh sales tax at 19.5% ad valorem can claim amount of sales tax paid on good or services at ad valorem rates not exceeding 17%. Conversely, all other service providers will continue to have the restriction on claim of input tax at ad valorem rates not exceeding 13%. 7. Input tax adjustment on certain goods and services Section 15B The Bill seeks to insert new Section 15B which provides that the adjustment of input tax paid on the acquisition of capital goods, machinery and fixed assets classified under Chapter 84 and 85 of the First Schedule to the Customs Act, 1969 shall be adjustable against output tax in twelve equal monthly instalments. Whilst, the proposed amendment aims to harmonize the inflow of taxes to the Government, it would directly impact the cash flow of the taxpayer by allowing the claim of input tax in 12 months. It is anticipated that, if legislated, due amendments would be made in the format of sales tax return to capture the amendment. It would be recalled that similar provisions were available under the Federal Sales Tax Act, 1990, which were later on withdrawn in 2011 there by resulting in the adjustment of input tax in the same period. 8. Assessment of tax; and Recovery of tax not levied or short levied Section 23(3) and Section 47(3) The Bill seeks to increase time period available to an officer of SRB for passing an assessment order under Section 23(1), 23 (1A) and 47(2) of the SSTS Act from 120 days to 180 days from the date of issuance of show cause notice. This extra time is in addition to the power of the officer of SRB to extend such period by a further period of 60 days. Thus, the existing period of 6 months for passing an order, as available to the officer of SRB, is now proposed to be extended to 8 months.
8 4 9. Short paid amounts recoverable without notice Section 47A The Bill seeks to insert a new section which provides that a short paid amount of tax as indicated from the sales tax return of a registered person can be recovered alongwith amount of default surcharge without giving a show cause notice. Such short paid amount of tax can be recovered by attaching the bank accounts of the registered person or by any action prescribed under Section 66 of the SSTS Act. However, no penalty under Section 43 of the SSTS Act shall be imposed without issuing a show cause notice to such person. It is pertinent to note that similar provisions are already available under Section 11A of the Federal Sales Tax Act, These provisions were however challenged before the Courts, and, by virtue of judgements, the application of the same was restricted to the extent of undisputed liability declared in the return. It is essential to highlight that under the current Sindh online filing system, sales tax return can be filed even under the circumstances where the unpaid amount of tax is appearing as payable in the sales tax return. By virtue of the proposed amendment, it is advised that the taxpayers remain cautious in filing their online sales tax return to avoid any adverse inferences at a later stage. 10. Obligation to produce documents and provide information Section 52 The Bill seeks to extend the requirement of furnishing the information in time by adding words data and documents as required by the Board or an officer of the SRB under Section Monitoring or tracking by electronic or other means Section 54A The Bill proposes to insert new section whereby Board is authorized to issue notification in the Official Gazette to notify any registered person or class of registered persons or any of the other services or class of services subject to certain conditions to impose the provision of monitoring and tracking of transactions or the invoices issued by the registered person through electronic or other means. These measures are adopted from the identical provision already available under the Federal Sales Tax Law and Punjab Sales Tax Act. 12. Offences and penalties Section 43(7B) The Bill has proposed to insert a new Clause (7B) under Section 43 for imposing penalty on person who refuses or denies or obstructs the compliance of newly introduced Section 54A. The person in violation of Section 54A will now be liable to penalty of Rs.100,000 or an amount equal to the amount of tax involved, whichever is higher. 13. Appeals Section 57 Section 57 describes the assessment orders passed under various provisions of the SSTS Act, where the aggrieved person can file an appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals) SRB. Now the Bill seeks to bring Section 25A within the parameters of Section 57. Thus, in situations where a taxpayer is deregistered or its application for deregistration is rejected, the same can now be appealed before the Commissioner (Appeals) SRB. 14. Recovery of arrears of tax Section 66 The Bill seeks to insert a proviso in clause (f) in subsection (1) of Section 66 of the SSTS Act whereby the officer of SRB is authorized to recover the amount of tax payable by a taxpayer through various recovery measures. The Bill now seeks to provide automatic stay against recovery of the disputed tax demand on payment of at least 25% of such demand during pendency of the appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals) by inserting a proviso after clause (f) to sub-section (1) of Section 66 of the SSTS Act. This amendment will not infringe the right of the Commissioner (Appeals) to grant stay without payment of disputed tax under Section 57 of the SSTS Act. It would be noted that similar amendments have been proposed under the Sales Tax Act, 1990, and the PSTS Act, through the respective Finance Bills The proposed new Section is aimed to broaden the tax base by allowing the Board to track the transactions carried out by the registered persons or any of the other class of registered persons.
9 5 15. Power to require licenses or permission Section 72A The Bill proposes to insert a new Section 72A whereby the Board is empowered, with the approval of Government of Sindh, to require any authority, including regulatory authority, competent to issue or renew licenses or permissions for engaging into an economic activity, which is a taxable service, to refrain from issuance or renewal of such license or permission unless the licensee or permission holder submits evidence that he is duly registered under the SSTS Act. The Stamp Act and other laws During the budget speech it has been announced that certain amendments in the Stamp Act and other revenue laws have also been introduced but these are not part of the Bill. It is pertinent to note that such restrictions on regulatory authorities are against the arrangements of powers under the Constitution of Pakistan and therefore, may result in unnecessary conflict between the SSTS Act and the respective regulatory laws. Further, these provisions also appear to be in conflict with the existing provisions of the SSTS Act which requires registration under the SSTS Act only at the time of rendering of taxable services in the province of Sindh, and does not apply at the time of bidding for a license or permission from any authority in Pakistan. 16. Condonation of time limit Section 81 The Board is empowered to condone the time limit under any provisions of the SSTS Act. This facility was understood to be available to a registered person. It is now proposed to insert an explanation under this section whereby apart from a registered person, the facility of condonation of time limit is also proposed to be available to the SRB authorities. This would mean that the SRB authorities can seek condonation of time limit prescribed under the SSTS Act for issuing show cause notices, conducting audits, filing appeals, etc. which may perhaps open the Pandora s box.
