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.

In such cases no refund of higher duty on inputs is admissible.
