LAHORE: Following the directions of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), the Regional Tax Offices (RTOs) are busy in making the list of non-tax return filers in order to take action against them.
Sources said that the RTOs prepared the list of around one thousand tax defaulters so far those are millionaires but not paying tax liabilities. The sources added that most of the tax defaulter traders were running business in different areas of Lahore, including Gulber, Mall Road, Ichra Market, Azam Market and other areas.
The officials were detecting those who are spending lavish lives in luxury homes and their children are getting education in costly schools and colleges but paying minor taxes to the government, they said.
The RTOs will send notices to the defaulters at first step and later take stern actions against them by freezing their bank accounts and seizing their assets.
