A legal challenge was raised regarding the requirement to pay the Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS) on imported goods when the basic customs and additional duty were exempted through a scrip. The court examined Section 110 of the Finance Act, 2018, which levies SWS at 10% on the aggregate of duties collected under the Customs Act. The petitioner argued that since no customs duty was paid due to the exemption, the SWS, being a percentage of the duty paid, should also be zero. The court agreed with this reasoning, distinguishing it from previous cases on NCCD where the issue was the absence of a notification for levy. The court held that upon obtaining an exemption, the liability to pay duty is discharged, and no duty collection follows the levy. Consequently, if the duty paid is zero, the SWS, calculated as a percentage of the duty paid, must also be zero. The court granted a declaration that the petitioner is not required to pay SWS on customs duty exempted under the scrip.
