ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) ne mulk bhar mein tax base ko barhane ke liye 145 District Tax Offices ka aghaz kiya hai. Is tajaweez ke mutabiq, June 2024 tak 1.5 se 2 million naye taxpayers ko tax net mein shamil karne ka maqsad hai. Prime Minister ne is maqsad mein maali maamlat aur tax filers ki tadad mein izafay ki zarurat per zor dya he.
Ye new offices, District Tax Officers ke zariye non-filers se Income Tax Returns hasil karne ka zimma carry karenge. In offices ke zariye FBR apni power ko barhane aur tax-to-GDP ratio ko approved level tak pohanchane ka irada rakhti hai.
Is initiative mein ek aur ahem qadam ye hai ke Inland Revenue Officers, jo ke BS-17/18 mein honge, third party data ko istemal karenge. Ye data multiple departments aur agencies se hasil hoga aur isme information shamil hogi jo ab tak taxation system se bach kar reh gaye hain.
Is maqsad mein recently introduced section 114B in the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 ka istemal bhi hoga, jo department ko notice ke jawab mein return na karne par utility connections jese ke electricity aur gas ko disconnect karne aur mobile sims ko block karne ka haq deta hai.
Federal Government is koshish mein FBR ko har mumkin madad farahem karne ka azm rakhti hai. Is silsile mein ek naya Documentation Law bhi paish kiya ja raha hai, jo alag-alag agencies aur departments ko majboor karega ke woh FBR ko automated common transmission system ke zariye data farahem karen.
NADRA ke sath bhi taawun aur madad hasil karne ka faisla kiya gaya hai, aur NADRA ke Chairman ne FBR ko data integration ke zariye tax base ko barhane mein apni madad ka izhar kiya hai.
Is naye intizam se FBR not only apni capacity ko barhaye gi balke taxpayers ko dedicated offices ke zariye tax returns file karne mein bhi asaan karegi.
