The Circular clarifies that requirement for provision of CNIC is only applicable if purchases are made from a Sales Tax Registered Person. Provision of CNIC number does not in any manner means that buyer has to be registered person under sales tax law. Sales to unregistered persons can be made.
The circular further clarifies that condition of provision of CNIC will not apply if the value of purchases is below Rs. 50,000 in case sale is made to an Ordinary consumer. In case of incorrect CNIC provided by purchaser, the liability of loss or penalty shall not arise against the seller in case of sale made in good faith.
In case of purchases above Rs. 50,000 by an ordinary consumer being a female, the CNIC of the husband or the father will be considered valid.
