Sales Tax Instructions, 2009
SUBJECT:-
CLARIFICATION REGARDING FILING OF SALES TAX
RETURN.
I am directed to refer to Central Board of Revenue‘s letter of even number dated
13 th July, 2001and to state that the following three questions have been raised about the
implementation of the said letter, viz:-
(vii) Whether the date for filing of all the returns for the month of June, 2001
which were required to be filed upto 15 th July, 2001 has been extended
upto 20 th July, 2001?
(viii) If a registered person has sold his entire products, not included in SRO
389(I)/2001, in July, 2001 to only registered firms, whether he is bound
to submit two returns?
(ix) Those who have already submitted their returns of June, 2001 on original
proforma showing further tax @ 1.5% and 3% for the periods from 1 st to
17 th and 18 th to 30 th June 2001 respectively, what should they do?
Whether they are also required to file additional return?
2. The above questions have been examined in the Board and it is
clarified/directed that:-
(ix)
(x)
(xi)
The date for filing separate returns in terms of sub-section (2) of section
26 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990 has been extended only in respect of such

i.e.,
(e) the registered persons who have during 18 th June, 2001 to 30 th
June, 2001 made purchases or supplies of goods covered under
SRO 389(I)/2001, dated 18 th June, 2001; and
(f) the registered persons who have charged further tax @ 1.5%
during 1 st July, 2001 to 17 th June, 2001 and @ 3% during 18 th
June, 2001 to 30 th June, 2001.
A registered person who has sold his all products not included in SRO
389(I)/2001, dated 18 th June, 2001 to only registered persons is not
required to file two returns for the month of June, 2001; he is required to
file only one return in terms of sub-section (1) of section 26 of the Sales
Tax Act, 1990;
In case of registered persons who had already filed (on or before 13 th
July, 2001) their returns for the month of June, 2001 in the old proforma
may not be asked to now file separate returns. The assumption is that
such return is based on the application of correct rate of further tax (i.e.
