C. No. 1(17)STR/2000.                                                                                                             Dated: 19-05-2003

To:
            1. The Collector of Sales Tax & Central Excise,

SUBJECT: CLARIFICATION REGARDING ADJUSTMENT OF INPUT TAX PAID ON ADVERTISEMENT
 SERVICES BY REGISTERED CLIENTS ON AMENDED INVOICES ISSUED BY PTV.

                I am directed to refer to the subject cited above and to say that a question has been raised whether invoices being issued by Pakistan Television Corporation Ltd. (PTV) are in conformity with Central Board of Revenue’s Ruling No. 67/2002 dated 11-11-2002 and whether input tax adjustment can be claimed on the basis of these invoices.

2.             The matter has been examined in the Central Board of Revenue in consultation with PTV. The Board is of the view that invoices issued by PTV (
specimen enclosed) bearing the name and registration number of the registered person/buyer routed through the advertising agency is in accordance with Board’s said Ruling. These invoices are therefore acceptable for input tax adjustment. This would however be subject to the condition that payment is directly made by the registered person/buyer to the registered person/service provider as per provisions of section 73 of the Sales Tax Act, 1990. This has been illustrated in the specimen invoice issued to M/s Reckitt Benckiser Pakistan by M/s PTV. Moreover, while claiming input tax adjustment the provisions of Apportionment Rules issued vide Notification No. SRO 698(I)/96 dated 22-08-1996 may be kept in view and no input tax adjustment for items mentioned in SRO 578(I)/98 dated 12-06-1998 would be admissible.
