Chairman also mentioned that measures were being considered to ban non-filers from international travel in coming months
Chairman (FBR), Rashid Mahmood Langrial, said that the FBR was gearing up for a large-scale crackdown on non-filers starting next month.
Chairman FBR talking to the News Channel said that, the FBR now has comprehensive data on individuals who have failed to file their tax returns.
He said that there was a clear directive from the Prime Minister to adopt a strict stance on tax evasion, leaving no room for leniency.
He further said that providing incorrect sales tax data was a crime and under-filing of income tax returns remains a significant issue.
The final deadline for filing income tax returns is set for October 14, which will not be extended, he said.
To enhance the performance of FBR, Chairman said a plan has been devised to improve fieldwork capabilities of FBR officers.
He further underscored that expanding the tax net remains a top priority for the FBR.
