Advance tax on pharmaceutical products

Every prescribed person, at the time of the sale of pharmaceuticals products shall collect Advanced tax based on the Filing status of the taxpayers:

For the sale of pharmaceuticals products to Distributor:
Filer Tax Rate: 1%
Non-Filer Tax Rate: 2%

If Distributor is a Filer :
Advanced Tax Collected at the time of sale of pharmaceuticals products = 1,000,000 * 1% = Rs, 10,000 (will be deposited into FBR)

If Distributor is a Non Filer :
Advanced Tax Collected at the time of sale of pharmaceuticals products = 1,000,000 * 2% = Rs, 20,000 (will be deposited into FBR)

Note: tax collected on the sale of pharmaceuticals is treated as Minimum Tax and non refundable
