Successful Appeal by Team Athar Maqsood & Co. Against Unlawful Tax Demand.

Team Athar Maqsood & Co. successfully contested an adverse order before the Commissioner (Appeals), resulting in its complete annulment. The original order had raised an unwarranted tax demand of Rs. 2,255,631/- against the taxpayer, on assumption of additional credit bank transactions without any verification.
AR of appellant raised the ground that the learned Officer was not justified to assume jurisdiction under section 122(5) of the Ordinance on the basis of differential amount of total bank credit entries and declared turnover treating the same as suppressed receipts in terms of section 111 (1)(a) of the Ordinance without proving exact nexus of the transaction/credit entry. The Honorable ITAT in a case reported 2022 PTD 1319 has held that the differential amount of bank credit and declared receipt is not definite information, hence, the action w/s 122(5) is illegal and unlawful.

The Commissioner (Appeals) accepted this legal position, and the appeal was decided in favor of the taxpayer.

Team Athar Maqsood & Co. successfully challenged the impugned order before the Commissioner Appeals, securing its annulment. The original order had created a tax demand of Rs. 4,353,006/- against the taxpayer regarding the withholding taxes deducted under Section 149 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

The counsel for taxpayer highlighted his contention that section 160 of the Ordinance, 2001 read with rule 43 of the Income
Tax Rules, 2002 stipulates that “Payment of withholding tax to the Commissioner, is the sole responsibility of a prescribed person (withholding agent) and therefore, the demand created against the taxpayer is illegal and void ab initio.

The contention of the taxpayer's counsel was upheld and the matter was decided in favor.
