The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has allowed exporters of kinnow to obtain condonation orders from the respective regulatory collectors, on non-feeding/non-debiting the quota in Web-Based One Customs clearance system (WeBOC) of exports since 2010 under DTRE regime as a special case.
Sources told Business Recorder here on Saturday that the matter of non-feeding/non-debiting the Duty and Tax Remission of Export Scheme (DTRE) quota was pending since the establishment of WeBOC system in context of non-implementation of 5% random examination of referred cargo of Kino export vide FBR letter C.No 5 (25) EP/01.Pt.II. Misc. 201609 dated 29.02.2008 followed by another letter C.No 5 (25)/EP/2001-Misc-1643 dated 03.01.2013, into WeBOC system.
The FBR has accepted stance of the kinnow Exporters to condone all the procedural lapses in context of non-debiting/non-feeding the exports under DTRE scheme since 2010. The FBR has issued instructions to the Collectors of MCCs Exports/Port Qasim (Exports), Karachi/Faisalabad.
