Chapter 18: Numericals Income Tax
(ii) Salary exceeding Rs. 32,000 per month should be paid through cheque or direct transfer to the
employees‟ bank account after deduction of tax (if any), to claim it as a deduction from income
from business. In this case, although Ahmed had deducted tax at source from salaries, however he
paid the monthly salary of Rs. 70,000 ((840,000/2)/6) to each employee in cash. Therefore, this
expense will be disallowed.
(iii) Cost of feasibility study conducted before commencement of the business falls under the
definition of pre-commencement expenditure on which 20% amortization is charged on straight
line bases. Therefore, the full amount of this cost will be disallowed and Ahmed will only be
allowed a deduction of Rs. 120,000 (600,000×20%) as amortization.
No tax credit will be allowed for donation paid to the non-profit organization in USA because
it does not fall under the definition of non-profit organization as per the Income Tax Ordinance,
2001.
A tax credit under section 61 on the donation paid will be allowed if donation is made to
Government hospital or to a hospital listed in 13th Schedule.
