LAHORE: The Federal Tax Ombudsman (FTO) has adjourned the hearing of a case filed by M/s Al- Tech Engineering and Manufacturers against Regional Tax Office-II (RTO-II) till the next date of hearing.
As per brief history of the case, FTO Consultant Tariq Yousaf heard the case of Mian Muhammad Saeed of M/s Al- Tech Engineering and Manufacturers. In the appeal, counsel for the appellant argued that the RTO is not releasing the sales tax refund to the company. He also added that the RTO-II collected excessive tax from the company during the last three years.
The appellant approached the officer concerned many times for issuance of the refunds amount but the RTO-II officials did not pay the refunds. At the end, the company decided to approach the FTO seeking interference in this case. The counsel appealed the FTO advisor to direct the RTO-II to clear the refund claims.
On the other hand, counsel for RTO argued that the appellant M/s Al- Tech Engineering & Manufacturers may submitted all record in the office on which basis it is claiming for refunds.
After hearing the arguments from both sides, FTO adjourned the case until for further hearing and directed the parties to appear on the date to present arguments in the case.
