C. No. 1/16-STR/2000 DATED 15 TH JANUARY, 2001
SUBJECT:- ADJUSTMENT OF INPUT TAX ON SERVICES – ‗CLEARING
AGENTS‘.
I am directed to refer to the subject cited above and to say that a question has
arisen whether or not adjustment of the sales tax levied by the Provinces on services is
admissible against the output tax of registered person who receives the taxable services.
2. The issue has been examined by CBR in consultation with the Law and
Justice Division. Board is pleased to clarify that sales tax paid on taxable services is
adjustable against the output tax of a registered person, because the same is to be charged
and collected in the same mode and manner as provided by the Sales Tax Act, 1990.
Hence, a registered person holding a tax invoice issued by a registered customs clearing
agent is entitled to adjust the amount of sales tax paid on services rendered or provided
by such agent subject to the conditions prescribed under section 7 and 8 of the Sales Tax
Act, 1990.
