ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has introduced an automated system to review income tax returns and identify potential errors or discrepancies in taxpayers’ filings.
The tax authority has added Rule 38B to the Income Tax Rules, enabling the system to examine returns and notify taxpayers online if any inconsistencies are detected.
Taxpayers to receive online notifications
According to the FBR, taxpayers identified with errors or discrepancies in their returns will be informed through the online system.
Rather than initiating immediate action, the FBR will first give taxpayers an opportunity to explain the identified issues.
The new mechanism is intended to provide taxpayers with a chance to clarify discrepancies before the tax authority proceeds with further action.
