Tajir Dost App receives very little response
Earlier this month, FBR kicked off the registration under ‘Tajir Dost Scheme’ to include over one million retailers in the tax net. All non-filers and unregistered traders and shopkeepers would apply for registration under Section 181 of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001.
Till April 30, 2024, the FBR registered only 75 to 105 retailers and shopkeepers. Now, Mir would coordinate with the retailers and wholesalers across the country for registration with the scheme.
The FBR has estimated to bring 3 million retailers/shopkeepers into the tax net, but so far only 75 to 105 shopkeepers were registered under the scheme.
