SN027·Third Schedule goods sold to end consumers by retailers

Retail to end consumersDistribution relevant
Sale type
3rd Schedule Goods

Submit this string verbatim. FBR compares the sale type literally — a normalised, retyped, or re-cased variant is rejected even when everything else on the line is correct.

What it covers

Retailers selling Third Schedule goods must report tax on the printed maximum retail price even where the customer paid less — a promotional discount does not reduce the tax base.

Who needs to test this

Taxpayers registered as retailers, particularly in fast-moving consumer goods.

Payload notes

  • The excluding-tax sales value is zero; the retail price field carries the base.
  • The retail price field is MRP multiplied by quantity.
  • The discounted price the customer actually paid does not enter the tax calculation at all.

Common pitfalls

  • The gap between the price charged and the price taxed is the whole point of this scenario, and the most common place integrations get it wrong.
  • Requires retailer status, in common with the other retail scenarios.
