KARACHI: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has decided to issue notices to 126 tax defaulters. Most of these defaulters belong to textile industry.
Sources told Customs Today that these notices will be issued according to manual process because most of these defaulters did not have NTN number. It is pertinent to mention here that FBR announces to issue computerized mass code notices to tax defaulters from 1st July 2015, but this process is still in the stage of upgradation and it is impossible for authorities to issue computertized mass code notices to defaulters.
Sources further revealed that Directorate-General of Intelligence and Investigation Inland Revenue recently writes a letter to Federal Board of Revenue asking that it is impossible to issue bar code notices to defaulters who did not have NTN number , but to NTN number is necessary to generate bar code, the source concluded as saying.
