ISLAMABAD: (HRNW) Federal Board of Revenue said Wednesday, marking the last day of tax filing, it amassed Rs22 billion making it the largest income tax amount historically collected on the occasion.
The revenue board shared figures of tax filers as the session concluded yesterday noting 1.8 million files submitted which are up by four per cent of the target while tax collection surpassed 63 pc, it claimed.
It may be noted that last year in the corresponding period, FBR collected Rs13.5 billion in income tax head.
The government decided not to extend the tax filing date post-December 8, the board said, in order to restore people’s trust in deadlines and fair-play.
It added in its statement today that in order to facilitate tax filers, the board has taken key steps including online submissions, and allowing tax advisors to file multiple tax files in a single plea.
