Presently, about 86% of the total income of government is generated by the National
Board of Revenue (NBR) administering three legal instruments, namely: the Customs
Act, 1969; the Income Tax Ordinance, 1984 and the Value Added Tax and
Supplementary Duty Act, 2012. If we convert the 86% into 100%, then about 38% of it
is collected by VAT Act, about 34% by Income Tax Ordinance and about 28% by
Customs Act. Due to the impact of globalization and trade liberalization, revenue
collection at our import stage is gradually on the decrease. It is anticipated that in the
coming 5-10 years, it may be decreased to about 15-20%. Income tax is collected at
year-end if there is any profit but VAT is collected on the sale of goods and services.
Therefore, VAT offers ample opportunity to realize more revenue. But in our country, a
skilled professional community has not yet been developed between VAT payers and
VAT collectors rendering the VAT machine not working effectively and calling for
imparting proper VAT knowledge to the VAT officials, consultants, lawyers, managers
and executives. The VAT and SD Act, 2012 (new VAT law) has come into force on 1
July, 2019. It is most urgent to impart knowledge about the new VAT law to all
concerned.
Objectives:
To impart VAT knowledge to the VAT officials, consultants,
VAT agents, lawyers, managers and executives;
To develop skills of the VAT officials, consultants, VAT agents,
lawyers, managers and executives for successful administration
of the VAT law;
To create a VAT environment free from evasion and financial
irregularities;
To develop a VAT system friendly to business, revenue,
investment, industrialization and economic growth;
To develop VAT-skilled professionals to be employed in the
VAT system of other countries.
