KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Friday suspended the impugned order against suspension of the sales tax registration of Haji Muhammad Ibrahim, the petitioner, on an application filed by him in sales tax matter.
A division bench of the SHC comprising Justice Munib Akhter and Justice Abdul Malik Gaddi also issued notice to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue, Zone – III, RTO –III, directing them to file their respective comments in the next hearing.
Earlier, the petitioner’s counsel stated that sales tax invoices were issued in respect of alleged purchases of input goods by the suppliers wherein the sales tax was charged, collected and paid by the petitioner through bank transactions which were accepted without any objections by the respondents.
The counsel argued that the petitioner had filed a reply of the said notice. However, he was deprived of doing business transactions with other registered persons without giving proper fact finding. The petitioner prayed to the SHC to restore his sales tax registration.
