KARACHI: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) issued instructions to Commissioner Inland Revenue (Appeals) for avoiding annulment of orders in a bid to control the first appellate forum available to taxpayers, it was learnt on Saturday.
The office of CIR (Appeals) is the first appellate forum available to taxpayers where they seek remedy against orders passed by tax officers.
The FBR, through a letter dated February 15, 2021, issued directives to CIRs (Appeals) to avoid unnecessary annulment of orders with directions.

Through the letter, the FBR noted: “… frequent annulled with directions orders will reflect adversely on the performance of the officers.” Tax practitioners

KARACHI: Taking cognizance of technical and non-technical hurdles in returns filing, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has decided to act realistically and refrain from imposing penalty on late filers across the board, people familiar with the matter said on Saturday.
Sources said the FBR softened its stance regarding the imposition of penalty on late filers of income tax returns for tax year 2020. Though the apex tax authority has so far not imposed any fine and penalties on filing after due date, the action has been under discussion in the recent past.
