Islamabad: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) recently introduced a software, titled ‘Centralised Sales Tax & FED Assessment & Processing (CSTAP)’, in its bid to effectively oversee the sales tax returns collection process – a news source reported. FBR Chairman Syed Muhammad Shabbar Zaidi inaugurated this programme at the authority’s headquarters in Islamabad.
Developed by the IR-Operations wing of the FBR, the software will be used to locate gaps in taxes and find out the actual sales tax/FED liabilities of the taxpayers. It will also enable expediting the process of settling refund claims.
Zaidi was given a demonstration on the working of the software by a member of the IR-Operations wing, Seema Shakeel. The first batch of 25 field formation officers will be given access to the software by 11 September for test runs. After the test runs prove successful, this software will be made available to all field formations across the country.
