ISLAMABAD: Pak Mobile Limited has paid its duty and taxes to the tune of Rs 3.7 million at the office of Directorate of Intelligence and Investigation.
According to details, the Directorate of Intelligence and Investigation wrote a letter to M/s Pak Mobile Limited to submit its short paid duty /taxes to the tune of Rs 3.7 million on imported consignment of “paper scratch card” from Dubai with GD No RPAF-15284 on April 28, 2016 and cleared the same at lower value for assessment of duty/taxes than the actual value.
The sources of Pak Mobile told Customs Today that the officials of Pak Mobile themselves submitted all the dues at the office of the Directorate of Intelligence and Investigation.
The sources said that GD No RPAF-15284 of scratch cards were sent by mistake during entry and remedy has been paid without any delay. Sources of Pak Mobile said that case will disposed of after adjudication process in next few days.
On the other hand sources of the Directorate of Custom Intelligence told that case has been referred to adjudication for further proceedings and it is possible that collector Adjudication will impose some fine against the short payment of duty/taxes by Pak Mobile Limited.
The documents given by the source of I&I were shown that the importer had declared the value $ 0.00205 per scratch card. The assessing officer accepted the declared value of $0.00205 per scratch card, where as the commercial invoice uploaded by the importer in support of his declaration in WeBOC system shows that actual unit price of a paper scratch card is $0.0205 and total value of consignment is $136,280.
The assessment was wrongly done at $0.00205 per card, hence actual assessable value of Rs4,750,000 paper scratch card was $97,375 instead of $48,643 and duty/ taxes payable were Rs3,732,514.
