KARACHI (HRNW) Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) on Thursday sealed a renowned restaurant, situated at Sea View (Do Darya), over tax evasion and non-compliance in Karachi, media reported.
As per the SRB’s spokesperson, the authorities sealed the restaurant after finding consistent non-compliance with the provisions of the Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011, raising suspicions of an attempt to evade taxes.
“Restaurant located at Sea View (Do Darya) Karachi was found involved in evading Sindh’s Sales Tax,” revenue board officials said.
Despite issuing multiple notices to the owner of the restaurant, the management failed to file the necessary tax returns which ultimately led to the restaurant being sealed by the authorities.
The closure of the establishment was prompted by its failure to synchronize its Point of Sale (POS) system with SRB’s invoicing system, alongside allegations of non-payment of sales tax.
Authorities underscore the imperative of preventing any loss of public revenue stemming from tax evasion by service providers across Sindh.
