Islamabad: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has taken decisive steps to ensure the attainment of its annual tax target for the fiscal year 2023-24, as reported on June 28.
According to the details, the FBR has mandated extended working hours for its offices across the country from June 28 to June 30. According to the directive issued by the FBR, all offices, including large taxpayer units and regional offices, will remain operational until late night during this period. Specifically, on June 28, offices will be open until 8pm, followed by operational hours until 6pm on Saturday, June 29. On the final day of the month, June 30, offices will extend their operations until midnight.
This initiative underscores the FBR’s commitment to ensuring the timely collection of duties and taxes. The directive also includes specific instructions for chief commissioners of land revenue to collaborate closely with the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to facilitate the process seamlessly. The extended office hours are expected to provide taxpayers with ample opportunity to fulfill their tax obligations conveniently. This proactive measure aims to enhance revenue collection efficiency and contribute significantly to achieving the set tax revenue goals for the financial year.
