Normally, sulphur dioxide is a reducing agent but sometimes it acts as an oxidizing agents too as for example;
In the Claus process, it is reduced by hydrogen sulphide to give elemental sulphur as:
SO2 + 2H2S --> 3S + 2H2O

The following reaction states act as a oxidizing agent.
Oxidizing agent:
Those elements or compounds oxidizes other and itself getting reduced.
For example:
Oxidation states S in
Oxidation state of S in 3S is zero.
The oxidation state decreased from .
Hence, sulphur is an oxidizing agent.
