KARACHI: The Customs Adjudication-II received Rs5.89million in response to a final notice served on a defaulter company named M/s Sehrish Gul Enterprises. The adjudication has also issued a show cause notice to M/s Digicom Mobile on the charge of mis-declaration/description.
M/s Sehrish Gul Enterprises was allegedly involved in a tax evasion. The company imported refrigerator parts and A/C compressors in the month of December 2017 which was examined by Taimoor Durrani who used the wrong PCT heading.
After a careful investigation, the Customs Adjudication-II issued a final notice to the company on 5th of March. The company cleared the amount of Rs5.89million on Monday.
Source said that another company named M/s Digicom Wear got cleared a consignment of mobile parts on January 16, 2018 and evaded a tax.
The consignments were assessed but later the customs served a show cause on the ground that these parts ultimately would be assembled as mobile phones and thus do not fall into the category of “parts”. A contravention report was prepared and show cause was issued to the appellant company.
The company through Franklin Law Associates challenged the show cause notice prosecuted by the Collector Adjudication II who, after hearing the custom officer concerned and appellant side, ordered the vacation of show cause while asking the importer to pay custom duty and taxes at applicable rates.
