BEFORE THE OFFICE OF THE FEDERAL TAX OMBUDSMAN, REGIONAL OFFICE, KARACHE Complaint No. 1328/KHVIT/2024 Afr Sved Ejaz Ahmed Jafry, Authorized Representative Ms Noor Distributors: Office No. 208-206, 2™ Floor, Telenet House, 12-A Block-6, PECHS, Shahrah-e-Faisal Karachi ecseseeeeComplainant Versus 1, The Secretary, Revenue Division, Federal Board of Revenue, Islamabad. 2. The Chief Commissioner-IR, RTO-1. Income Tax House, Kamal Ataturk Road, Karac Respondents COMPLAINT FILED BY MR. SYED EJAZ AHMED JAFRY, AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF M/S. NOOR DISTRIBUTOR NIN 62969174 ~ AGAINST CANCELLATION THE ORDER U/S. 122(5A) FOR TAX YEAR 2023 Please refer to Federal Tax Ombudsman’s Secretariat Complaint No. FTO- 132S/KHIIT/2024 dated 18.03.2024, accompanied filed by Syed Ejaz Ahmed Jafry, ‘Authorized Representative of M/s Noor Distributor for submission of para-wise comments / report in respect of the above complaint. Report in the subject matter is furnished as under: RA-WISE COMMENTS Para wise comments in respect of above complainant are submitted as under: 1) Not Admitted, That the taxpayer has stated that he was engaged in the business as “Distributor of Pharma”, however he was failed to provide any documentary distribution certificate during the course of proceedings initiated legally under 2 3 delegated authority by the Commissioner-IR, Zone-H, RTO-L, Karachi bearing jurisdiction order bearing No, Jud-t/CIR/Z-I1/RTO-W/Jurisdiction/2023- 2024/746 dated 09.10.2023 (Annexure-I), The matter of status of the complainant taxpayer as distributor of Medicine has been disputed by the department and is pending before the Honorable ATIR against the decision of Commissioner Inland Revenue (IR-Appeals-V). Not admitted, That the proceedings u/s 122(5A) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 (hereinafter referred to as the “Ordinance”) have been concluded as per law. Actually, the order in question has been passed with due diligence and is four walls of law. Not admitted, Without prejudice to the above, it is submitted that the taxpayer has already filed appeal before the Commissioner-IR (Appeals) against the Order passed u/s 122(6A) of the Ordinance, on 12-03-2024 (Annexure~II). In legal parlance, the complainant taxpayer cannot knock more than one door at a time. 3.1. The argument advanced by the complainant taxpayer is not tenable. The Additional Commissioner Inland Revenue is empowered under the delegated powers of Commissioner Inland Revenue under section 210 of Ordinance to amend the order deemed to have been taken place under section 120 of the Ordinance, as considered necessary by invoking the provisions of section 122(6A) of the Ordinance. The action taken is well within the ambit of law as provision of section 210 of the Ordinance empowers the Commissioner to delegate powers and functions to any Officer Inland Revenue subordinate to him except the power of delegation as expressly menti ed in seetion 210(1A) of the Ordinance. 3.2 Im addition to above, the Honorable chair would appreciate that Section 211 of the Ordinance, treats the powers exercised or the functions performed by the Officer Inland Revenue under a delegated authority as powers or functions exercised or performed by the “Commissioner”, 3.3 Moreover, since under the Ordinance, by fiction of law, the taxpayer itself is assessing authority of its income tax assessment because the return filed under section 114(4) shall be taken for all purposes of the Ordinance, to be a deemed assessment order issued fo the taxpayer by the Commissioner on the day ‘the said return was furnished, Therefore, in view of the above discussion, I hold that the order passed under section 122(SA) of the Ordinance, by the Additional Commissioner Inland Revenue is legal and within lawful authori y. Hence the plea of complainant taxpayer has no locus standi. 4) Not Admitted, The Officer Inland Revenue concerned acted expressly in accordance with law as is depicted in para-1 above. The department invoked provisions of Section 122(5A) of the Ordinance, 2001 in good faith and in the interest of revenue on basis of record which was floating on the surface. PRAYER, In the light of above stated comments / report and the operative law, itis prayed thatthe Hona’ble Federal Tax Ombudsman may vacate the complaint and consigned to record as being devoid of merit.
