MULTAN, Oct 29: The Pakistan Cotton Ginners Association will look into the matter that who are supplying lint cotton to textile mills which owe heavy amounts to be paid under the sales tax head.

According to a press release of the association, collector customs, sales tax and central excise, Muhammad Nazim Salim raised the issue with PCGA chairman Chaudhry Khalid Rashid in a meeting a couple days ago that some ginners were supplying lint to the textile mills which had been declared defaulters by the Sales Tax department.

The black-listed mills are Superior Textile Mills Limited, Lahore, Ravi Spinning Mills Limited, Lahore, Nusrat Textile Mills Limited, Lahore, Crescent Spinning Mills Limited, Lahore, Aziz Spinning Mills Limited, Lahore and Farooq Habib Textile Mills Limited, Lahore.

The PCGA, however, rejected the proposal to issue sales tax invoice with the sale of lint cotton under special procedure of the ginning industry rules, 2002. However, the ginners would issue a dispatch advice at the time of delivery in order to ascertain that which ginning factory had supplied lint to a textile or spinning mills.
