Under the section 149 of Income Tax Ordinance 2001, income tax in respect of an employee is required to be deducted by the persons responsible for paying salary to an employee after making adjustment of tax withheld from employees under other heads and tax credit admissible under sections 61, 62, 63 and 64 during the year after obtaining documentary evidence.
Most of the persons responsible for paying salary to employees deduct the income tax under section 149 of the Income Tax Ordinance but do not make tax adjustment of tax withheld from employees under other heads because of the fact that the employees do not submit the adjustment claims to their employers. Whereas tax under various heads is withheld from the employees by various agencies like banks, motor vehicle registration authorities, telecommunication companies, electricity distribution companies, insurance companies, educational institutions, property registration/transferring authorities, airlines, etc. which are adjustable and the employees can get this adjustment from their employers before release of salary for the month of June for the tax year 2019.
Adjustable taxes withheld by various agencies under the income tax ordinance 2001 are as under:
All employees of Federal Govt., Provincial Govt., Autonomous Bodies, Private Sector organizations, etc. can avail this golden opportunity of getting tax adjustment from their employers by submitting relevant evidences of tax deductions, meaning thereby that they will not have to wait for refund from FBR if they take this adjustment from the tax deductible from their salary during the month of June. Moreover, if any excessive amount is withheld by the employer during the year they can take that adjustment in the month of June as well. Employees should contact their employers immediately well before processing of pay roll for June-2019 so that tax adjustment is made by the employers in a timely manner. For the sake of convenience and ready reference the IT-3 Form (Declaration by Salaried Persons - To be Submitted to the Employer by the Employee) has been notified by FBR, Imtiaz Ahmad Khan added.
