FAISALABAD: Federal Tax Ombudsman (FTO) Abdur Rauf Chaudhry has announced to establish a regional office in Faisalabad for the resolution of tax related complaints of business community.
He said this while addressing the members of Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI). He said that tax base is being expanded by registering 0.1 million new tax payers into tax net this year.
He said that he has already advised the taxation authorities not to mechanise the things as delaying tactics when refund claims cases were approved for payment. He said that SRO culture needs to be discouraged as its prerogative lies with the National Assembly after the approval of the budget.
Earlier in welcome address FCCI President Engineer Suhail Bin Rashid said that in the presence of power shortage and increased prices of industrial inputs, cost of production has increased manifold. In such circumstances, easy taxation will produce more revenue to the national exchequer.
