ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Chairman Tariq Bajwa has said that efforts are in progress to establish a system in which accountability of field staff could be done.
Talking to Public Account Committee (PAC), he said that action is being taken against corrupt officials, adding that a zero tolerance policy has been adopted by FBR against corrupt officials.
PAC members advised FBR chairman to keep check and balance on the assets of field staff, especially Grade-17 officers before and after their promotions. PAC, quoting Ishaq Dar, said that tax evasion is not possible without the help of field staff so it is important to take stern action against the culprits.
The chairman said that door-to-door policy has been adopted to bring more people into the tax net, adding that over 150,000 new taxpayers have been registered. It is difficult to generate revenue without increasing the numbers of taxpayers, he added.
