Calculation and Filing of Advance tax - aamirmehmood - 03-28-2009
Dear members,
Hope you all are fine,My questions are as under because it is general topic so you all are requested to answer quickly,
What is the latest rules regarding calculation and filing of advance tax under income tax ordinance 2001?
Previously we have to calculate it on the basis of tax assessed in last year now what is the latest should we base current year if company is in profit for the calculation.
Can we file return of advance tax electronically.
if in the preceding year company having refund of income tax then is it mandatory in the law to submit a letter informing tax department that we are not liable to submit the advance tax.
waiting your precious suggestion SIR!
Thanks in advance.
