However, the restaurant remained consistently non-compliant with the sales tax returns under the provisions of the Sindh Sales Tax on Services Act, 2011. Therefore, the SRB has taken strict action and sealed the restaurant.

The SRB shall take stern action against such defaulters and non-compliant service providers.
