LAHORE: The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has accelerated its province-wide crackdown on tax defaulters, seizing records from 20 businesses across multiple cities as part of its ongoing enforcement drive.
According to the PRA officials, inspection teams examined sales records of several major fast-food outlets and café chains in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Sargodha, Multan, and Bhakkar. The tax and sales data of various marriage halls and marquees were also scrutinised. Authorities confirmed that records were confiscated because of suspected tax misappropriation and failure to use the mandatory Electronic Invoice Monitoring System (e-IMS).
The PRA authorities stated that strict action is being taken against business operators found collecting tax from customers without depositing it in the government treasury. They added that heavy penalties will be imposed on businesses establishments found concealing their actual sales volumes, after detailed verification of the seized data.
