LAHORE: The Punjab Excise and Taxation Department has so far not been able to furnish its first quarter performance report for current fiscal year, Customs Today learnt.
A source said that the department was not fully equipped with computerisation which was a major hurdle in collecting data timely from all districts. Officials have to work manually regarding different taxes, he said.
He added that internet problem due to the recent fire incident in the PTCL Lahore office was also a reason behind the delay.
As per details, the department collected property tax, professional tax, motor vehicle tax, medicinal opium tax, hotel tax, excise duty, entertainment duty, education cess and cotton fee.
