LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) suspended a notice of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) issued to Ittefaq Sugar Mills for the recovery of income tax to the tune of Rs2.3 billion.
The mills’ counsel submitted that the FBR had sent an income tax recovery notice without any legal justification. He said an appeal against the FBR notice was still pending before the commissioner.
After suspending the tax recovery notice, Justice Jawad Hassan referred the matter to the commissioner of inland revenue department of the FBR with a direction to decide it within 30 days.
