FBR Intensifies Crackdown Against Tax Evaders

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is intensifying its crackdown on tax evaders, with reports indicating that arrests have been made following the registration of First Information Reports (FIRs) against non-compliant companies and individuals. This marks a notable shift in the FBR’s approach to tackling tax evasion in Pakistan.

Sources reveal that the FBR has compiled comprehensive lists of tax evaders to accelerate the enforcement process. Tax commissioners have been tasked with issuing show-cause notices to those found in violation of tax regulations.

FBR officials expressed confidence that these new measures will significantly reduce tax evasion, making it increasingly difficult for individuals to conceal their tax returns. They stated that non-filers will face restrictions on conducting business transactions, purchasing property, or acquiring vehicles.

Additionally, it is important to note that the government has extended the deadline for filing income tax returns for the tax year 2024 to October 31. This extension offers another opportunity for those who missed the previous deadline of October 14 to fulfill their tax obligations.
