KP departments pledge strict compliance with sales tax regulations

Secretaries of Communication & Works, Energy & Power Departments vow tax compliance for provincial development

PESHAWAR: Secretaries of the Communication and Works Department and Energy and Power Department announced to ensure strict compliance with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sales Tax on Services on Thursday.

The announcements came during separate meetings of the Director General KPRA and her team with the officials of both departments. The meetings were held in the committee rooms of C&W and Energy and Power under the chairmanship of the departments’ respective secretaries.

DG KPRA Miss Fouzia Iqbal gave detailed briefings about the KPRA and its mandate along with providing a short history of the sales tax on services in the province and explaining the agenda points at both meetings.

The DG informed Secretary C&W Mr. Idrees Khan Marwat and the officials of the department present in the meeting that the exemption to FATA and PATA in the government-funded ADP and PSDP Schemes ceased to exist after July 2021; however, it is still being given, which is wrong and shall be stopped immediately.

She informed the participants that due to the misclassification of sales tax on goods and sales tax on services, the tax of KPRA is going to FBR, which needs to be stopped.

She added that there is no data sharing between KPRA and field formations of the C&W, due to which there are compliance issues that need attention.

Secretary C&W Idrees Khan said that tax is a collective responsibility and everyone has to play his/her part to ensure strict tax compliance for the development of the province.

“Our little efforts can make a huge difference. We have to deduct proper taxes and make accurate declarations to stop our money from going to the federal government by mistake,” he said, directing all the field formations and the officers present at the meeting to ensure tax compliance.

It was agreed that KPRA will arrange a training workshop for the Executive Engineers and Account Officers on KPRA, Sales Tax on Services, and Withholding regulations after Eid.

Meeting With Energy and Power

The DG KPRA in another meeting with the Secretary Energy and Power Nisar Ahmed and his team asked for registration of the Inspectorate of Electricity with KPRA and complete tax compliance from Pakhtunkhwa Energy Development Organization (PEDO) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Oil and Gas Company Limited (KPOGCL).

The secretary agreed to the request and directed his team to register Inspectorate of Electricity and start tax compliance.

He also directed officials of PEDO and KPOGCL to ensure complete tax compliance as it is the responsibility of everyone to obey the law which has imposed the taxes.

“If the law is crystal clear then we have to act upon it and we have to make collective efforts for the betterment of the province,” the secretary said.

  2. About 2months now since I lost my invested funds to an online scam trade company. I was lured into investing into a trade company, later to discover that I couldn’t withdraw my both invested funds and profits except if I made more payment over and over again. I got broke and I needed my money back urgently. I was referred to an online recovery team called Blockchainrecall.com. I wasn’t so sure if they could offer the help I needed at the moment but to my surprise after just a few days, I was able to recover all my scammed funds back into my safety. I now believe and hope anyone that need help can contact them for a safe a quick recovery of their scammed funds. Email George Blockchainrecall.com.
