3.    Scope of  Tax.-- (1) Subject to the provisions of this Ordinance, there shall be charged, levied and paid a tax known as Sales Tax at the rate of fifteen per cent of the value of the taxable services rendered or provided in the Province of Balochistan.

   (2)    The tax shall be charged and levied on the services specified in the Schedule to this Ordinance in the same manner and at the same time, as if it were a sales tax leviable under section 3, 3A or 3AA, as the case may be, of the Sales Tax Act, 1990.

   (3)    All the provisions of the Sales Tax Act, 1990, rules made, notifications, orders and instructions issued thereunder shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to the collection and payment of tax under this Ordinance in so far as they relate to--
