A high-level meeting to deliberate on the plan took place on Monday. Excise and Taxation officers (ETOs) and circle inspectors were present at the occasion.
The E&T officials presented a list of 300 tax defaulters whose dues exceeded PKR 100,000. Twenty one circle inspectors were tasked to initiate contacts with these individuals for recovery of dues.
The participants said that non-compliance will lead to arrest. Those who will pay their dues will get their names removed from the list. The authorities concerned will issue arrest warrants after January 31.
The taxpayers were previously given an opportunity to avail a 5% rebate on property tax. The tax filers were asked to submit their property taxes in any branch of the National Bank of Pakistan or State Bank.
The Punjab government had last year raised the property tax by 10%. The E&T Department said it has updated its software to include the revised amount.
