The Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) cracked down on prominent Karachi restaurants for violating tax laws and regulatory requirements. Raids were conducted on Biryaniwala, Ibn-e-Battuta, and Al-Fajr due to infractions like non-payment of Sindh sales tax and failure to integrate with the SRB's invoicing system. The raids followed discoveries of under-declared sales, prompting SRB to seize evidence and take action against continued non-compliance. The SRB plans to impose penalties on the restaurants based on the seized evidence. #TaxPolicy #TaxCompliance #PakistanEconomy #FiscalResponsibility #accountants #auditors #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #scounts

The Regional Tax Office-I in Karachi has confirmed that the new notification supersedes the previous one and that no reductions will be allowed. This clarification is crucial for property owners and taxpayers in Karachi, as it will impact their tax liabilities.

Islamabad: Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said today that almost half of the PKR 3.4 trillion in tax evasion is caused by big companies. During a press briefing, Finance Minister Aurangzeb warned CFOs against filing false tax returns, with penalties of up to 10 years in prison. Recent arrests, including those linked to a footwear company, signal the government’s stricter stance on tax evasion. Aurangzeb emphasized Pakistan’s low tax-to-GDP ratio of 9-10%, urging the need for improvement to stabilize the economy. FBR Chairman Langrial vowed to eliminate non-filers by October 14 and warned about fraudulent tax adjustments. The FBR is also planning to introduce a VAT system despite resource challenges. FBR data reveals widespread tax fraud across sectors like iron and steel, cement, beverages, batteries, and textiles, totaling PKR 227 billion in lost revenue. Iron and steel companies evaded PKR 29 billion through false claims, while the battery sector dodged PKR 11 billion. Other industries also engaged in similar fraudulent practices, causing significant revenue losses.
