ISLAMABAD:
In an alarming development, the number of active taxpayers has declined by 30% or 935,000 to just under 2.2 million, showed the new Active Taxpayers List that the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) released on Monday.
The 2.2 million tax return filers were just one-third of those who have valid National Tax Numbers (NTNs) and are doing business in Pakistan but did not submit their tax returns, indicating the FBR’s failure to enforce laws.
The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) collected Rs38.5 billion or 4.3% of total income tax receipts through enforcement measures in the first half of current fiscal year amid a major discrepancy in the tax amount claimed to be paid along with annual returns.
