'Inflated' tax notices to Shehbaz, late Kulsoom: FBR given last opportunity to furnish proof

FTO notices stated, "The tax codes of Pakistan, like other laws of the world, contain specific provisions aimed at countering "tax evasion".

The expression "tax evasion" under section 109(2) is defined exclusively (meaning by no other meaning can be assigned to it) as "any transaction where one of the main purposes of a person in entering into the transaction is the avoidance or reduction of any person's liability to tax under this Ordinance".
