ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue Chairman Tariq Bajwa will visit Dubai, United Arab Emirates to participate in a meeting with International Monetary Fund (IMF) during the first week of August, 2015.
In the meeting, the FBR chairman will brief the IMF authorities on broadening of tax net, tax reforms and tax collections made by FBR during the last fiscal year 2014-15.
The officials of the FBR hoped that the IMF will appreciate the performance of the board for achieving maximum target despite facing various issues of political strife, depleting oil prices, etc.
In this meeting, Member Customs and Strategic Planning, Nisar Muhammad Khan will assist the chairman. However, Member Cusoms Nisar has reached Dubai to complete initial working in this regard.
It is important to mention here that Chairman Tariq was planned to go Dubai in last week of July, 2015 but due to the strike call from traders on imposition of withholding tax on banking transactions, he has to change his visit schedule.
After having interactive session with the officials of IMF, Tariq Bajwa would go to America and get back in Pakistan in third week of August.
