LAHORE: The employees of Federal Board of Revenue’s (FBR) Regional Tax offices I-II, Lahore, and Large Taxpayers Unit (LTU) have urged the government to continue their performance allowance.
As per the details, performance allowance had been stopped in recent Budget 2015-16. The employees said that the board paid the allowance to almost 80 to 90 percent of the employees on their performance.
However, the remaining employees were not given the allowance due to the poor performance.
Judiciary, police and other departments are also receiving the same allowance with the name of special allowance, but the employees of the FBR have been deprived of the allowance, which was creating unrest among them, they said.
They have suggested that the government should facilitate the employees who were collecting taxes to run the state affairs.
