ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue has received another 8,092 tax returns during the last week.

FBR sources said that the ATL will increase before this fiscal year end i.e. June 30 as the government has announced tough measures for non-filers of income tax returns in the budget 2017-18.
The sources said that the FBR had estimated 1.3 million return filers for tax year 2016 by June 30 this year and 1.8 million before issuing of new ATL in March 2018.
