ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) issued notices to parties in a case filed by M/s Amson Vaccines and Pharma (Private) Limited against Custom Appellate Tribunal, Islamabad.
The IHC bench comprising Justice Shaukat Aziz and Justice Mohsin Akhtar issued notices to parties after relisting the case. The bench also issued notices in M/s Dancom Pakistan’s case. M/s Dancom Pakistan had filed the case, challenging an announcement made by the Appellate Tribunal Inland Revenue (ATIR) through which it had sustained a decision announced by the department’s adjudication pertaining to a show cause notice issued to the company for the recovery of outstanding tax.
Through both the references, M/s Dancom Pakistan had named Chief Commissioner Inland Revenue, LTU, Assistant Commission Inland Revenue Withholding, LTU, Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals), LTU, and Federation of Pakistan through the chairman of Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) as respondent in the case.
Show-cause notices had been issued for the tax year 2016 in head of income tax under sections of income tax ordinance, 2001.
M/S Dancom Pakistan had prayed the court to direct LTU not to recover the said amount and abstain from any coercive action in this regard.
The petitioner had prayed the court operation of the impugned notices issued by the tax authority may kindly be suspended till the decisions of appeal pending before the LTU.
