Comments on items not considered in computations

a. Bad debts recovered
As bad debts of Rs. 750,000 was allowed as expense in tax year 2010 and now this amount has been recovered,
therefore, this amount is chargeable to tax. No treatment is required as this amount has already been included in revenue.
Notes
1. Gifts and donation
It is assumed that gifts are given in personal capacity, therefore not allowed for tax purposes. Tax credit shall be allowed
on donation to Edhi Foundation.
2. Security deposit on lease
It is assumed that security deposit does not form part of the lease rentals and shall be refunded by bank on repayment of
all lease rentals.
3. Bonus
Salary including bonus is chargeable to tax on receipt basis.
4. Meeting fee to director

As the meeting fee has been recived by the taxpayer as an employee hence the same is taxed as income under the head
salary income instead of taxation under the head income from other sources.

Q.5 (b) Autumn 2012
On 1 July 2010, Kashmala and Shumaila formed an Association of Persons (AOP) with the objective of providing
information technology support services to corporate clients. They contributed Rs. 1.2 million and Rs. 0.8 million
respectively in their capital accounts and agreed to share profits and losses in the ratio of their capitals.
For the year ended 30 June 2011, business loss and unabsorbed depreciation of Rs. 0.4 million and Rs. 0.3 million
respectively were assessed and carried forward. The total turnover of the AOP in 2011 was Rs. 40 million.
During the year ended 30 June 2012, the AOP incurred a net loss of Rs. 0.8 million on a turnover of Rs. 50 million. The
cost for the year was arrived after adjustment of the following:
(i) Salaries amounting to Rs. 0.5 million and Rs. 0.3 million were paid to Kashmala and Shumaila respectively.
(ii) Accounting depreciation on office assets amounted to Rs. 0.3 million.
The taxes withheld by the clients, for the year ended 30 June 2012 amounted to Rs. 0.55 million. AOP is entitled to claim

Total loss related to unabsorbed depreciation for the year (250,000)
Less: brought forward unabsorbed depreciation 300,000
Total unabsorbed depreciation to be carried forward (550,000)

As there is nil income under normal law hence minimum tax under NTR is computed as under.
Minimum tax liability:
In the absence of information it has been assumed that the AOP has realized all the services income on which the
corporate sectors have partially deducted tax on the same, however the AOP is under obligation to pay the 10% minimum
tax on the entire gross receipts even when the corporate sectors clients have not fully deducted tax on the same.
10% minimum tax on gross receipts of Rs.50 million against services 5,000,000
Less tax deduted under section 153 550,000
As there is nil income during the tax year after adjustment of brought forward losses, hence business loss of Rs. 100,000
for current year shall be carried forward for the succeeding six tax years whereas the unabsorbed brought forward
depreciation loss shall be carried forward to the extent of Rs. 550,000 without any time limitation.

On 31 July 2010, Khursheed had undergone a major surgery and incurred an expenditure of Rs. 1,500,000. ZGC
reimbursed the entire amount as a special case as it was not covered under the terms of employment.
Due to poor health, Khursheed opted for early retirement on 31 December 2010 under the company’s voluntary retirement

Notes
1. Rental income
The rent received or receivable by a person for a tax year shall be chargeable to tax in that year under the head “Income
from property”. Therefore, only three months’ rent is included in the taxable income of Mr. Khursheed. Further it has been
assumed that the same is after allowable deducitons under section 15A of the Ordinance.
2. Business loss
No loss (including Loss under the head business income) shall not be set off against income from salary and income from
property. However the loss shall be carried forward to adjust the same against the business income of six subsequent tax
years.
3. Gain on sale of quoted shares

Since, the sale of listed company's shares is made after holding the shares for more than twelve months but less than
twenty four months, the gain on sale of shares is taxable @ 12.5%.
Furthermore, the tax credit of Rs. 60,000 allowed in the tax year 2013 will be recouped as the same has been disposed off
within twenty four months from the date of purchase has been elapsed.
4. Capital loss
Where a person sustains a loss on sale of shares of a private company it is construed as a capital loss and it cannot be
set-off against any other head of income, but shall be carried forward to the next year and set off against the capital gain,
if any.
5. Sale of personal car

Income under the head ‘Capital gains’ can arise only on the disposal of a capital asset. Since movable assets held for
personal use are excluded from the definition of capital asset, gain on sale of car is not a taxable income in the hands of
the Mr. Khursheed.
6. Golden handshake
It is assumed that last three years' average rate of tax for golden handshake is 18% and further it is more beneficial
for the taxpayer to opt for taxation of golden handshake at last three year's average rate as compared to this to
include the same in the current year's income.

deducted by CL limited.

3. Bad debts in respect of loan to employees shall not be admissible under the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 because the

Q.NO. 3(a): Autumn 2008
Mr. Henry is a UK national and provides independent consultancy services in his individual capacity, to United Autos
Limited, a Pakistani company. Mr. Henry has entered into a contract with the company. The company’s accountant has
treated payment under this contract as being under an employment contract with the company.
Mr. Henry stayed in Pakistan for eight months during the tax year 2008. During the said period, he was only involved in
providing in-house independent consultancy services to different departments of the Company. Mr. Henry is of the view
that:
(i) Being a UK national, he will be a non-resident for Pakistan tax purpose;

(ii) His income from consultancy services provided by him under the contract of employment should be
classified as ‘fees’ for technical services’ and shall be chargeable to tax at 15% of the gross amount of the
consideration received by him;
(iii) No tax was deducted from his remuneration. However, United Autos deposited an amount of Rs.275,000 in
the government treasury on his behalf. Mr. Henry believes that tax deposited on Mr. Henry’s behalf does not
attract any additional tax incidence for him as he has not received the amount in cash, from the company.
(iv) Since his remuneration was agreed to be paid in Pound Sterling, the rate of conversion for tax purpose shall
be the rate applicable on the date of agreement. Any increase in value of Pound Sterling against Pakistan Rs.
should be non-taxable.
Briefly explain whether or not Mr. Henry’s assumptions in (i) to (iv) above are in accordance with relevant provisions of the
CIR, 2001.
Solution of Q.NO. 3(a) Autumn 2008
i) Mr Henry assumption that being as UK National he is a non-reisdent for Pakistan tax purposes is not correct as the
residential status is being decided on number of days stay in Pakistan instead of Nationality base. As his stay in Pakistan
is for 183 days or more hence he is a reisdent for Pakistan tax purposes.
ii) As Mr. Henry is providing independent consultancy services to various departments of local company and the same
shall not be treated under the term employment hence a contract of services shall be treated as service contract and
higher of minimum tax at the rate of 10% or tax under normal tax regime on taxable profit, if any, is to be paid by Mr.
Henry.
iii) Tax paid by the company on behalf of Mr. Henry shall be treated as income and tax on the same is to be paid by Mr.
Henry on the same basis as given in Note 2 above.
iv) The presumption of Mr. Henry is again not correct as the conversion rate to the remuneration in pound sterling shall be
the date at which the amount received by Mr. Henry and not the date of agreement.

i) Gain on sale of Sculpture Rs. Rs.

Consideration received 500,000
Less: FMV at the time of inheritance (200,000)

Taxable gain on sale of sculpture (as holding period is more than 1 225,000
year so 75% is chargeable to tax) (Rs.300,000*0.75)

ii) Any forfeited money as advance against sale agreement of land 500,000
and building is included in the definition of "Rent". So, the amount
of forfeited money shall be chargeable to tax.
iii) As the sale of personal car is neither a business transaction nor a capital asset. There will be no tax treatment on the
disposal of personal asset. So, the cost, FMV or consideration are irrelevant.
iv) Mr. Ibrahim's salary income is taxable in Pakistan in 2007 and foreign source income in next 5 years as his

computation of advance tax under section 147.
