  1. CONTINGENCIES

    1. Commissioner General of Inland Revenue has issued assessment notices on Singer (Sri Lanka) PLC pertaining to an additional VAT Liability/ Payment on account of Deemed VAT for seven quarters during the period 1st January 2014 to 30th September 2015. The assessments were for a Deemed VAT payment of Rs. 1,076 million and penalty of Rs. 423 million, totaling to Rs. 1,499 million. The assessments were appealed against and in due course the Commissioner General of Inland Revenue issued the determination on the appeal. In terms of the same, Rs. 791 million of Deemed VAT liability and penalty of Rs. 395 million totaling to Rs.1,186 million was held to be a Deemed VAT liability for the seven quarters for the period from 1st January 2014 to 30th September 2015. The Company after carefully reviewing the situation and based on

      the advice of tax consultants, was of the opinion that there is no basis for the Company to be made liable for Deemed VAT. Accordingly the Company decided to appeal to the Tax Appeals Commission against the determination. Further, the Company had previously provided bank guarantees amounting to Rs. 297 million to the Commissioner General of Inland Revenue - Tax Appeals Commission.

      The Tax Appeals Commission hearings were concluded on 28th February 2023, and the determinations were consequently issued on the 17th of May 2023 and 23rd May 2023 for all seven quarters for the period from 1st January 2014 to 30th September 2015 - Though the Company was not informed of such determinations for a period of approximately one month from such dates. The Tax Appeals Commission in

      determining the case has confirmed the purported determinations made by the Commissioner General of Inland Revenue for all seven quarters. Accordingly at the time of receiving the said determinations on the 20th of June 2023, the company deposited 10% of the pending assessed value amounting to Rs. 108 Mn in lieu of renewing the bank guarantees which were previously given. The Rs. 108 Mn. has by now been transferred by the Tax Appeals Commission to the Department of Inland Revenue.

      The Company after carefully reviewing the situation and based on the advice of tax consultants, is of the opinion that there is no basis for the Company to be made liable for Deemed VAT. Accordingly, the Company has decided to seek the judicial review in the Appellate Court against the determination issued by the Tax Appeals Commission by making an application for a case stated,which was submitted to the Court of Appeal in August 2023. Hence, no provision has been made in the Financial Statements until the matter has been determined by the Court.

      Notes to the Financial Statements
    2. Commissioner General of Inland Revenue has issued assessment notices on Singer Digital Media (Pvt) Ltd which has been amalgamated with Singer (Sri Lanka) PLC pertaining to an additional Income Tax Liability for the Year of Assessment 2018/2019. The assessment was for an income tax payment of Rs. 86 million and interest and penalty of Rs. 44 million and Rs. 16 million respectively, totaling to Rs. 147 million.

      Since, the Commissioner General of Inland Revenue has failed to make the determination on the appeal, the Company has decided to appeal to the Tax Appeal Commission against the assessment dated 25th May 2022. Further, the Company has previously provided a bank guarantee amounting to Rs. 37 million to the Commissioner General of Inland Revenue - Tax Appeals Commission on 02nd March 2023.

      The determination was issued by the Tax Appeals Commission for the year of assessment 2018/2019 on 21st November 2023 confirming the assessment notices issued. The tax authorities have exercised the bank guarantee of Rs. 37 million on 7th December 2023.

      The Company after carefully reviewing the situation and based on the advice of tax consultants, is of the opinion that there is no basis for the Company to be made liable for Income Tax. Accordingly, the Company has decided to seek the judicial review in the Appellate Court against the determination issued by the Tax Appeals Commission by making an application for a case stated , which was submitted to the Court of Appeal in February 2024. Hence, no provision has been made in the Financial Statements until the matter has been determined by the Court.

    3. Singer (Sri Lanka) PLC has provided bank guarantees amounting to Rs.588 million to Director General of Customs to clear imports during the years 2008 to March 2025.

The Court of Appeal ordered that the Director General of Customs continue with the investigations. The Company being aggrieved by the decision has filed an appeal, which is pending before the Supreme Court. The Company lawyers are of the opinion that there is no basis that the Company is liable for the additional duty. Based on assessment the probability is higher that the Company would not be required to settle the liabilities. Hence, no provision is made in the Financial Statements

    4. Inland Revenue Department has issued assessment notices on Singer (Sri Lanka) PLC pertaining to VAT for 16 quarters from 1st Quarter of 2017 to 1st Quarter of 2022.

The reason for these assessments is due to a mismatch between the tax invoice numbers/values associated with third-party input VAT claims (as reported in Customer VAT Schedule 02) and those recorded and declared by the company in VAT Schedule 01 of Singer (Sri Lanka) PLC. The assessments were appealed on the advice of Tax consultants.
