KARACHI: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has blacklisted 22 private firms involved in defaulting and forgery.
Well-informed sources in the Regional Tax Office-II told this scribe that several notices were sent to these firms, asking them to clear their outstanding dues. In response to these notices, several companies started paying tax, but some companies neither replied to the notices, nor did they deposit the tax, so the department decided to take strict action against them and blacklisted them.
Those companies who were declared as blacklisted are ZT Chemical, Omega Traders, Plus Corporation, Zobi Enterprises, M&T, Shafiq Corporation etc.
Sources further said that these companies were already shortlisted during the month of May, but in June, the authorities decided to declare them as blacklisted. Sources said that the action has been taken after thorough investigations.
