INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO FILL UP THE RETURN
(1) These instructions are illustrative only and have no effect upon the provisions of the
Sales Tax Act, 1990 or the Federal Excise Act, 2005.
(2) This return is required to be filed by all persons registered under the Sales Tax Act,
1990 and the Federal Excise Act, 2005.
(3) Instructions relating to different parts of the return are given below:
Registry
CNIC:
The registered person having the status of ‘individual’ or ‘proprietor’ is required to
mention his Computerized National Identity Card number. In all other cases this
information can be skipped.
Normal/ Revised:
Normal return means the first return filed for any specific tax period. A revised return
can be filed under section 26(3) of the Sales Tax Act, 1990. While filing the revised
return, the taxpayer shall check the relevant box and fill in all the relevant data for the
month including the columns which were correctly filled in the normal return.
Monthly/ Quarterly:
All registered persons are required to file return on monthly basis, except retailers, CNG
dealers and dealers of electric goods operating under special procedures.
Tax Period:
The tax period has to be mentioned in the format “mm yy”. For example, July 2008 is to
be mentioned as “0│7│0│8”. The persons filing the quarterly return shall mention the
last month of the quarter. For example, in case of quarter July to September 2008, the
month of September 2007 should be mentioned as “0│9│0│8”.
Sales Tax Credits
Col 1: Domestic Purchases (excluding fixed assets):
All purchases should be mentioned here. Gross Value means total value of all
purchases including taxable and otherwise. Value of taxable purchases would come
Page 19

filled based on details of invoices.
Col 2: Imports:
The details of imports should also be provided in the manner as provided for local
supplies above.
Col 3: Inadmissible input tax relating to exempt supplies/ non-taxed services etc.:
The input tax which is attributed to exempt supplies or to non-taxable services is to be

included. If any part of input tax relates to both taxable and exempt supplies or services,
inadmissible input tax is to be calculated in accordance with the Apportionment Rules
as in the Sales Tax Rules, 2006.
Col 4: Capital/ fixed assets to be credited as 1/12th of accumulated amount:
The ‘accumulated amount’ is the admissible input tax paid on fixed assets during the

Col 5: Ship imports by ship-breakers:
The LDT of ships imported during the current month need to be mentioned.
Col 7: Previous month credit brought forward:
This is the amount of tax which could not be adjusted in previous month and should
strictly be the amount mentioned in the column ‘Balance Credit to be carried forward’ in
the return for the preceding tax period. It is to be noted that previous month’s refund
claim should not be included in this column.
Col 8: Accumulated Credit:
This is the total input tax available for adjustment against output tax. This is the sum of
total admissible Input tax for the month plus Credit brought forward from the previous
month.
Sales Tax Debits
Col 9: Supplies Made & Services Rendered
Value of sales and services shall be mentioned in similar manner as purchases are
provided in column 1. The services chargeable to sales tax under provincial ordinances
and the services subject to FED in VAT mode are to be included here. For example
courier services and domestic air travel services etc.
Col 11: Extra Tax:
The manufacturers and importers charging extra tax under Chapter XIII of the Sales Tax
Special Procedures Rules, 2007, or otherwise, shall mention the same here.
Col 13: Retail Turnover - for the Quarter

The electricity distribution companies shall mention the units supplied to steel sector as
covered under the Sales Tax Special Procedures Rules, 2007, on which sales tax is
payable at the rate of Rs. 6.00 per unit.
Col 17: Less: Sales Tax deducted by withholding agent @ 1/5th of tax invoiced
This column allows a registered person to subtract the sales tax which has been
deducted by a withholding agent from his output tax liability. Only the amount actually
deducted needs to be mentioned.
Col 19: Sales Tax withheld by the return filer (STWH):
If a registered person is also withholding sales tax under the Sales Tax Special
Procedure (Withholding) Rules, 2007 (SRO 660(I)/2007), he shall mention the tax
deducted during the tax period from the amounts payable to suppliers.
Col 20: Sales Tax Arrears:
Outstanding sales tax arrears can be deposited against this column.
Col 21: Whether excluded from Section 8B(1), under SRO 647(I)/2007:
The registered person should tick the relevant box and calculate net liability and the
amount of tax to be carried forwarded in accordance with the formulas provided.
Col 24: Excess Unadjusted Credit:
This is the excess of input tax which is available either for carry forward or for claiming
refund under rules. This can be worked out with the formulas provided.
Col 25: Refund claim:
The persons making zero-rating supplies can claim refund of excess input tax relating to
inputs actually consumed in zero-rated supplies. The balance excess can be carried
forward. Persons making supplies other than zero-rated can claim refund of excess
input tax in the manner as provided in Chapter V of these rules.
Col 28: Goods chargeable to special FED:
Information in respect of Special FED under SRO 655(I)/2007 is to be provided.

Page 21
In case the return is being revised, the credit of the amount paid on the normal/ original
return can be availed by mentioning the said amount.
Col 38: Balance Tax Payable / Refundable:

Declaration:
Declaration can be filled in by any person duly authorized to file the return. CNIC
mentioned here should belong to the person making the declaration.
Head of Accounts:
The break-up of tax being payable on the return is to be provided. If the taxpayer is
dealing in more than one type of taxes he should provide the head-wise break up of the
total amount payable for the month i.e. the amount mentioned in the column “Total
Taxes Payable (Net ST Payable + Net FED Payable + PDL)”. The amount falling in
FED and PDL can easily be determined. However, the problem may arise while
providing break-up of sales tax, provincial sales tax and FED payable in VAT mode
because of common inputs involved. In case the registered person is not conveniently
able to determine such break-up, then the total payable amount for such heads can be
apportioned on the basis of value of supplies/ services relating to a particular head of
account.
