July 28, 2021 ISLAMABAD: In a bid to expand the tax base via technology, Federal Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin has constituted a high-powered committee under chairmanship of Aneeq Khawar from the private sector, with a mandate to simplify business integration processes for broadening the tax net. Khawar, who has served at Silk Bank as the chief operating officer in the past, would help the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to expand its tax base. The installation of Point of Sale (POS) at branded retailers was another major assignment on which the FBR would rely upon for bringing retailers into the tax net.
