The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has introduced a new IRIS e-Payment system to streamline the process of paying taxes online. This includes the payment of Sales Tax Withheld (STWH). Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make an STW challan using this system:
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Access the IRIS e-Payment Portal:
- Visit the FBR’s IRIS e-Payment portal.
- Enter Taxpayer Information:
- Enter your valid NTN (National Tax Number) or CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) number.
- Enter the captcha code.
- Click “Search” to proceed.
- Select Tax Type:
- From the left-hand menu, select “Withholding” > “Sales Tax Withheld.”
- Enter Taxpayer Details:
- Enter the details of the taxpayer for whom you are making the payment, including their NTN, name, and other relevant information.
- Amount of Sales Tax Charged and amount which is withheld as Sales Tax Deducted.
- Mention No. of Invoices.
- Provide Payment Details:
- Enter the total amount of Sales Tax Withheld.
- Enter the amount against “B-02341 Supplies” or “B-02366 Services”
- Select the tax year and tax month for which the payment is being made.
- Attach Payment File (Optional):
- If you have a file containing the details of the invoices and tax deducted, you can attach it here.
- If the number of particulars are more, one can upload an attachment sheet in excel file in prescribed format (format available in the attachment tab).
- Review and Submit:
- Review all the entered information to ensure accuracy.
- Click the “Submit” button to proceed to the payment gateway.
- Make Payment:
- Select your preferred payment method (e.g., credit card, debit card, internet banking).
- Enter the required payment details and complete the transaction.
Important Considerations:
- Accurate Information: Ensure that all information entered is accurate to avoid errors and delays. Always double check the entries.
- Payment Confirmation: After successful payment, you will receive a payment confirmation slip. Sales Tax Returns can be filed after all the taxes are paid, and relevant CPRs are selected.
- Record Keeping: Keep a record of the payment confirmation for future reference.
By following these steps, you can efficiently make Sales Tax Withheld payments through the FBR’s IRIS e-Payment system. Alternatively the old payment option are still valid.
