I quote following portion of the post of a fellow from UK
â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦Lets say a poor man spends 100PKR a month on his prepaid mobile phone card. Most shops do not offer a tax receipt for him to keep in order for him to be able to use it on his tax return. How is he supposed to prove what he has spent on his prepaid cardsâ¦â¦..
Dears,
The mobile recharge card is itself a proof to claim/adjust the tax. No shopkeeper will provide any one a tax receipt against sales of a mobile balance recharge card.
Further, only upon one telephone call at the HELPLINE of the mobile phone service which you utilize, they will send you a tax deduction/withheld certificate in your name (if SIM is in your name) within maximum of 48 hours through registered post or courier service, that will include the entire amount of income tax on all the cards you purchased and used during a given financial year. This certificate is a sufficient proof under law to claim/adjust the income tax paid on telephone cards.
This is for information.
Regards,
