MULTAN: Chief Commission Inland Revenue Regional Tax Office (RTO) Abid Hussain Bodhla has said that installation o Point of Sale (POS) machines will be extended to all types of shopkeepers very soon.
Although installation of Point of Sales (POS) machines is currently mandatory for bigger stores/ shops falling under Tier-1 retailers. “But eventually, every shopkeeper will have to get the POS machines installed at their premises which was the only way to ensure that all the taxes being generated from sales were directly being submitted to the national exchequer,” he added.
He was speaking at a meeting with office bearers of Multan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI).
Abid Hussain Bodhla said in order to quickly process the Sales Tax Returns being submitted in huge quantities every month by the taxpayers, a state-of-the-art IDEA software has been introduced at the Inland Revenue Department where the pilot run was going on smoothly hence, it was being expected that this software will be fully launched in July 2022
He invited MCCI’s delegation to visit IR department to witness the performance of IDEA software which would make things easier and help in dealing with the problems being faced by taxpayers in submitting sales tax refunds. He informed that in order to improve the functioning of IR department, all the recruitments were now strictly being done purely on the basis of merit so that competent and hardworking workforce could be created which should facilitate the taxpayers instead of creating problems.
