Islamabad, Sep 26: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) revealed a rewards program for integrated tier-1 businesses’ patrons who report unconfirmed bills from large merchants. The FBR amended the Sales Tax Rules, 2006, and alerted customers about the plan by issuing SRO.1513(I)/2024.
Customers of an integrated tier-1 retailer who report questionable invoices produced by the tier-l retailer are eligible to receive prizes for their purchases from the integrated tier-1 retailers, according to the updated procedure for the prize plan.
If an invoice appears to be untrue, the client must report it via the app or, if applicable, a WhatsApp number, and include the following information:
The customer’s name
CNIC belonging to the client
The customer’s mobile number
The customer’s IBAN
evidence of an electronic payment
image of the unconfirmed invoice and a tagged image of the company location where the unconfirmed invoice was issued.With the caveat that the customer’s right to claim the prize will be lost if they fail to produce proof of their digital payment.
If an invoice is unverified, an alert will be created in the Commissioner of Inland Revenue’s IRIS logon. The Commissioner will then authenticate the unverified invoice to determine whether the client is eligible for the reward or not. With the caveat that the Commissioner must additionally take the appropriate measures in accordance with S.No. 24 in the Sales Tax Act’s Table of Section 33.
According to FBR, the customer bears responsibility for any delays in prize payment if the details they submitted are later determined to be inaccurate or lacking.
