SALES TAX PAYABLE The above amount includes a provision of Rs 9.307 million (2002: Rs 9.307 million) made by the Company for additional sales tax claimed by the authorities in respect of sales tax liability on lead oxide during the period May 1983 to May 1988. The principal amount of the demand amounting to Rs 6.434 million has already been paid by the Company in prior years. In addition to the principal amount, the sales tax authorities have raised a demand of additional tax aggregating to Rs 46.352 million. However, the Company contends that the demand for additional tax is unjustified as the Company�s appeal regarding the issue of taxability of the product was pending during the period of default and hence it should not be liable for any additional tax. The Company�s appeal in respect of this case is currently pending at the High Court. The accrual of Rs 9.307 million has been made on account of prudence and represents the Company�s estimate of the maximum liability in respect of this demand. 9.3.
