Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (Pama) has urged the Sindh government to issue instructions to the motor vehicle registration authorities in the province to register vehicles only after the sales tax is paid and the invoice of the dealer is attached to the registration application.
In a letter to the Sindh Excise & Taxation Secretary, Pama Chairman Kunwar Idris stated that he had requested Senior Minister Syed Sardar Ahmed in August to issue such directives to the concerned officers, as it is required under SRO of CBR. The other three provinces have already issued these instructions but some ambiguity persists in Sindh, he said.
Kunwar Idris also sent a copy of such notification by federal ministry of finance and issued by Punjab government to its concerned officers; according to which every manufacturer or importer of vehicles shall declare to the Collector of Sales Tax full particulars of his dealers and the Collector shall ensure that no such dealer of vehicles remains unregistered.
-- Each manufacturer or an importer who sells any vehicle through a dealer shall issue sales tax invoice in the name of the dealer mentioning full particulars of such dealer and the dealer shall issue sales tax invoice in the name of the consumer.
-- The authority competent to register the vehicle shall furnish to the Collector information about the vehicles on which sales tax has been paid.
