The Chairman,

SUBJECT: DIFFICULTY IN OBTAINING SALES TAX REFUND
During processing of Sales Tax refund cases of our members there is an ambiguity about certain
points at the lower levels, which results in unnecessary delay in sanctioning of our refunds. We
request to give clear instructions to the Collectorates on the following points:
(a) INPUT/OUTPUT RATIOS
The staff at the lower level sanctions refunds on equivalent weight basis for the input consumed
and the goods exported which results in a loss to resulting in our exports not being zero rated. It is
therefore, requested that Input/Output ratio may be determined according to the Survey reports of
the department prevalent when sales tax was refunded as duty drawback.
(b) That refund may be given on sales tax paid for all inputs consumed such as,
Wool. (ii) Caustic Soda.
Hypo Solution. (iv) Dyes
Packing Materials (vi) Cotton Yarn.
The staff if only sanctioning refunds on wool. Yours instructions in this regard will certainly
straighten out bottlenecks being faced by our member at the lower at the lower level.
Thanking you.
Yours truly, Abdul Latif Malik), Chairman
