Explanation. – For the purpose of this sub-section, the expression “tax payable or paid” does not include:
(a) tax already paid or payable in respect of deemed income which is assessed as final discharge of the tax liability under section 169 or under any other provision of this Ordinance; and

(2) Where this section applies:
(a) the aggregate of the person’s turnover as defined in sub-section (3) for the tax year shall be treated as the income of the person for the year chargeable to tax.
Explanation. – For the removal of doubt, it is clarified that the definition of turnover covers receipts from all business activities in line with the expression “turnover from all sources” used in sub-section (1) including but not limited to receipts from sale of immovable property where such receipt is taxable under the head Income from Business;
(b) the person shall pay as income tax for the tax year (instead of the actual tax payable under this Ordinance), minimum tax computed on the basis of rates as specified in Division IX of Part I of First Schedule;

(c) where tax paid under sub-section (1) exceeds the actual tax payable under Part I, [clause (1) of Division I, or] Division II of the First Schedule, the excess amount of tax paid shall be carried forward for adjustment against tax liability under the aforesaid Part of the subsequent tax year:
Provided that if tax is paid under sub-section (1) due to the fact that no tax is payable or paid for the year, the entire amount of tax paid under sub-section (1) shall be carried forward for adjustment in the manner stated aforesaid:
Provided further that the amount under this clause shall be carried forward and adjusted against tax liability for [three] tax years immediately succeeding the tax year for which the amount was paid.

Explanation. – For the removal of doubt, it is clarified that the aforesaid Part referred to in this clause means clause (1) of Division I or Division II of Part I of the First Schedule.
