Why Tax Filing Is a Business Essential
In this dynamic world of business, there are certain core responsibilities that every company needs to fulfill in order to compete. One of the main responsibilities of any organization is to be tax compliant with the regulated authorities. In this article, we will discuss the significance of tax filing and how it can help your company avoid unnecessary consequences.
Legal requirement
The first thing to understand is that tax filing is a legal requirement. The income Tax Ordinance, 2001 and Sales tax Act, 1990, states that it is compulsory for companies meeting a certain criterion must register and file their taxes. Failing to meet the requirements can result in notices from the Federal board of Revenue (FBR) which could indict warnings, fines, or hefty penalties and in some situations, imprisonment of corporate officials.
Financial Clarity
Adhering to the laws of the taxation fosters financial transparency. Companies are required to maintain accurate records of their income, expenses and financial transaction. This act not only ensures compliance but also shows a very positive image of the financial structure and management of the company. Healthy financial records are crucial for attracting potential investors as these records depict a clear picture of the company’s financial history which builds a very promising view in the eyes of the potential stakeholders.
More opportunities
Another reason why tax filing is important because it leads to an access of more opportunities in Pakistan. Consider an example, your company wants to take part in the bidding and auctioning of government contracts, tenders and projects but if your company is not registered with FBR or is not tax compliant then your organization would not be eligible to participate in such an event. By not being a filer, businesses lose out on such golden opportunities which could result in loss of revenue for your company. That’s why its not a bad idea to partner up with financial consultancy firms.
Input tax credit
Input tax credit is when a business pays tax on its purchases and collects tax from the other vendor when the business executes a sale. The business then adjusts their tax liability by subtracting the tax at the time of purchasing from the tax at the time of sales which is also known as output tax. Then the difference is paid to the government. As a result, this allows companies to minimize their overall tax liability by offsetting it with the sales tax they have already paid on their inputs. This is a financial benefit that helps companies that are registered to lower their operational cost and maximize their profits.
Avoiding Legal Consequences
Not being a filer can have dire effects on the business. FBR may start investigations and audits into the financial records of non-compliant companies. These investigations can be very time consuming, often leads to wastage of a companies’ resources, disruption of operations and could possibly result in fines and penalties. Becoming a tax filer in this case would be a blessing as you would be able to avoid such situations.
Financial efficiency
One of the benefits that comes with being Tax Compliant is that your company becomes more financially efficient. By properly recording all the income transactions and expenses which is a core part of the tax filing process provides an informative understanding of the overall financial condition of the firm. This allows you to critically analyze your business, correct what needs correcting, identify areas of cost savings and streamline your business processes.
Conclusion
To conclude, being a filer is essential as it has become a strategic financial practice that benefits companies in numerous ways. It has become crucial for businesses to understand the legality and financial rules of the country they are operating in, in order to maintain their compliance to operate successfully and sustainably.
