The court held that the FBR could not collect sales tax from any businessperson without registering them. “The FBR will register the business community as taxpersons and then proceed for collection of sale tax under Section 3 of the Sale Tax Act, 1990,” the court remarked.
Representing the petitioners, Advocate Ajmal Khan argued that the business community of the country was fighting for justice for the past nine years. He said that in order to achieve tax collection targets, the FBR had been collecting sales tax from the business community without registering them and without giving any notice of recovery to them. He said this practice of the FBR was tantamount to harassing the business sector, which was already paying huge taxes and duties to the government.
