==============================================================================================
5.1. DEFERRED TAXATION

Net liability for deferred taxation arising due to all major temporary differences (credits and debits) computed under the balance sheet liability method is estimated at Rs. 63,900 million (2000: Rs. 54,339 million) of which Rs. 9,561 million is in respect of current year.

The deferred tax liability to the extent of Rs. 16,558 million has not been provided as it is unlikely to crystallize within foreseeable future.

Moreover, applicability of revised International Accounting Standard - 12 (Income Taxes) requiring full provision, has been deferred by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan till accounting years commencing on and after January 1, 2002.
5.2. CANE DEVELOPMENT CESS AND SURCHARGE

The surcharge on cess levied through Finance (amendment) Act, 1991, at the rate of 15 paisas per 40 kilograms of cane crushed is to be shared equally by the mill and growers.

The levy has been challenged in the Court of law.

However, the liability has fully been provided for to the extent of 50% of company's share.

Since the matter is pending in the Court, therefore, management feels that the matter is not likely to be finalized within one year.

9.2. The Company has issued continuing guarantee to bank aggregating Rs. 50 million (2000: Rs. 82.50 million) in consideration of the banks making loans to cane growers for the purchase of seeds and fertilizers.

9.3. The guarantee amounting to Rs. 19,045 million was issued to Collector, Central Excise and Land Customs, Hyderabad in respect of payment of 50% central excise duty against clearance of sugar stocks of 17,799,50 metric tons.

The issue is related to denial of excise duty exemption by declaring full crushing season at minimum of 180 days vide notification of December 23, 1992.

The Company has disputed against the denial of exemption and has filed a constitutional petition before the Honourable High Court of Sindh.

However, the excise duty liability has been fully provided for including compounding interest @ 14% per annum thereon.

The guarantees have been encashed by the Collector, Central Excise and Land Customs, Hyderabad for the full principal amount of Rs. 19.045 million.
9.4. The Company had applied to the Government of Pakistan for declaring Medium Density Fibre Board Industry as "Key Industry" under SRO 458(1)/88 dated June 26, 1988 as the project is using 100% local raw material.

Pending the declaration as Key Industry, the Central Board of Revenue has allowed the Company to get the consignments of plant and machinery cleared against bank guarantees.

The Collector of Customs has presented Bank guarantees for encashment and the company accordingly filed a writ in the High Court of Sindh there against.

The High Court in its order has allowed the Collector of Customs to get the bank guarantees encashed with the conditions that in case bank guarantees are encashed and the decision goes in favour of the Company.

The amount of bank guarantees encashed will be refunded alongwith 14% markup.

Total amount of duties involved is Rs. 8,893 million which had been fully provided for in the accounts in the relevant prior year, out of which Rs. 8,694 million has been paid upto September 30, 1999.

9.5. A demand of Rs. 6,216 million in respect of sales tax on in house use of bagasse as fuel was raised by the Collectorate of Sales Tax, Hyderabad.

The Company has disputed the liability and has filed an appeal before the Sales Tax Appellate Tribunal, Karachi, the outcome of which is pending.

However, to avail a relief from further levy of additional tax and penalties, as facilitated through SRO 1349(1)/99 dated 17th December, 1999, the company has paid total tax due of Rs. 11,795 million, including an additional tax of Rs. 4,413 million which has been shown as advances at note 18 of these accounts.

9.6. The Company has filed petition before Honorable High Court of Sindh challenging the levy of further tax against taxable supplies made to persons other than registered person under section 3(1A) of the Sales Tax Act, 1990.

However, the entire liability till November 30, 2000 against such further tax has been paid by the company including additional tax and penalties.

During December, 2000 a judgment in favour of Company was awarded by the Honourable High Court of Sindh.

Accordingly, Company has filed claim for refund of such further tax amounting to Rs.48.99 million.

Management feels that refund will take substantial time to be realized, on realization, this will be recognized accordingly.

Further, through the Finance Act, 2000-2001 the definition of unregistered persons for the purpose of sales tax was amended.

Accordingly, Sales Tax department has raised a demand for further tax @ 3% in respect of sales made to unregistered persons, which has been contested by the Company before the Sales Tax Tribunal in the light of Sindh High Court Judgment.

However, the Company has deposited Rs. 1,370 million against the said demand upto September 30, 2001.
