KARACHI: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has stepped up action against tax evading marriage halls.
Wedding halls earning millions of rupees annually in Shahrah-e-Quaid were involved in tax evasion.

FBR officials said after checking data and withholding status of marriage halls under Income Tax Ordinance 2001, RTO – I, it was found that the marriage halls were involved tax evasion.
