II. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

The issue in this case revolves around the interpretation of Section 8(1)(h) and 8(1)(f) of the STA 1990. The registered person's argument that input tax credit is admissible on goods that contribute indirectly or remotely towards the furtherance of taxable activity is supported by various court judgments. There is no specific and elaborative contention of the department on multi uses of goods purchased by the registered person. Department has not inspected the goods used and there is no report on record. There is nothing against contention of registered persons purchased and used articles helped in the process of Textile activity, citation referred below support contention of registered persons.

 

Hence, Input tax against goods that contribute directly or indirectly and even remotely towards furtherance of taxable activity is allowed by ATIR, Multan.
