LAHORE: Chairman Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) Moazzam Iqbal Sipra has said that the Large Taxpayer Unit will become operational in Lahore within the next couple of months.
During a meeting with a delegation of lawyers, led by the President of the Lahore Tax Bar Association, who visited the PRA headquarters on Saturday, the chairman said that efforts are underway to make the Large Taxpayer Unit operational within two months. In addition, he added, a training wing will also be established soon in order to enhance the professional capacity of revenue officers.
