LAHORE: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) should detect new taxpayers instead of those who already are already paying taxes.
These views were expressed by Standing Committee on Embroidery Industry Convener Haji Muhammad Akram while addressing a meeting at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
He said that the FBR officers should go after the tax evaders who have been living luxurious life and paying not a single penny as tax.
He said that FBR officers are raiding on the industrial units which are registered and paying their tax liabilities.
He said that if the FBR would take coercive measures against the registered taxpayers the new taxpayers would not dare to opt for getting registered with FBR.
On the other hand, he said that the FBR should work on bringing in to the tax net the new industrialist units and new taxpayers who are evading taxes by not getting registered.
Muhammad Khalid, Shahzad Azeem, Kashif Sajjad, Naseer Babar and others were present on the occasion.
