ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has finally decided to document the supply chains of wholesalers, distributors, small, medium and large manufacturers, importers having taxable income, but who have remained unregistered to evade taxes.

According to an order issued by the FBR, here on Thursday, the FBR has issued 13 Terms of References (ToRs) of the “Sub-Committee on Integration of Businesses”.

The mandate of the sub-committee would be to identify wholesalers, distributors, small, medium and large manufacturers, importers, who potentially have taxable income but have not been brought into the tax base of Pakistan and are evading and suppressing taxes and invoices.

The Sub-Committee would also define the potential target market and quantify its size.

It will also develop a Business Plan comprising budget pertaining to project plan, human, IT, and infrastructure resources required to bring the potential target market into the tax base to generate incremental tax revenue.

The sub-committee will also obtain legal and regulatory protection, facilitation, and support of stakeholders in order to achieve the objective in collaboration and support of the FBR. The Business Integration committee will define policy and rules for a licensing framework for the appointment of intermediaries who will coordinate and facilitate the integration of supply chain to capture and report all sales transactions.

So far FBR has increased tax base by just increasing Tax rate, example is increasing Tax on Bakery items, restaurant from 7 to 15 percent and on caterers from 5 to 15 percent. FBR is making PM IK look like a fool. Bad governance, please

If meaningful discussion is held things can become better but if the idea is to label the other person a tax-thief then no betterment can be expected

Very Well step of Government to increase the Revenue of Country but Govt should focus to income tax and takes step to increase income taxes and bring those person in the tax net whose income is very big. Govt should decrease taxes on small commodities so that Middle class people can high their purchasing power that s become the reason of country progress in real term

That's are just TORs for a subcommittee which will do this and recommend that will achieve what. These are just stories. Tax base is extremely narrow and the existing tax payers are the victims.
