LAHORE: The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has intensified enforcement operations across the province to curb tax evasion and ensure compliance with sales tax laws.
As part of the ongoing crackdown, three outlets, including a renowned food chain, were sealed for failure to issue e-bills and for manipulation of sales records.
In Lahore and Gujranwala, the PRA officers have been deployed to closely monitor Point of Sale (POS) systems at multiple food outlets to ensure transparency and real-time reporting of sales. Enforcement actions were also carried out against businesses found involved in sales record irregularities and tax non-compliance.
According to a PRA spokesperson, recoveries were made from establishments that deducted sales tax from consumers but failed to deposit the amount into the government treasury. Enforcement officers also issued notices to wedding halls, marquees and other businesses for not maintaining proper sales records.
PRA has also urged the public to report complaints against businesses not issuing e-bills through the Sahulat Application.
