According to the provisional data compiled by the FBR on Wednesday, the FBR has collected net Rs5,882 billion during July-June 22 (2021-22) against the revised target of Rs6,100 billion for the outgoing fiscal year.
However, the budgetary target of Rs5,829 billion set for 2021-22 has been met on Wednesday.
The FBR has provisionally collected net Rs5,882 billion during 2021-22 against the budgetary target of Rs5,829 billion, reflecting an increase of Rs53 billion.
Sources said that “we are near the upward revised target of Rs6,100 billion, which would be achieved by the end of the current fiscal year.”
The target for the month of June 2022 has been fixed at Rs732 billion which is expected to be achieved by the tax machinery. So far, the June 2022 provisional collection stood at net Rs529 billion. In June 2021, the tax machinery had collected Rs571 billion. The FBR is required to collect Rs203 billion in the remaining eight days of June, the sources said.
