LAHORE: The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has decided to further strengthen its monitoring and intelligence system to prevent tampering and irregularities in tax payments.
The decision was made at a meeting on departmental performance and reforms held under the chairmanship of Moazzam Iqbal Sipra, Chairman PRA. A detailed briefing was given to the chair regarding the revenue collected from the services sector across the province during the last month. Furthermore, the PRA commissioners were directed to initiate a special campaign to expedite the recovery of outstanding arrears.
The chairman also instructed all the commissioners to set clear timelines for achieving the assigned targets of enforcement officers. He emphasized that without strengthening transparency and accountability mechanisms, increase in revenue is not possible.
He reiterated that providing facilitation to taxpayers and further simplifying the system remains the government’s top priority. He further said that the establishment of the large taxpayer unit has contributed to increased tax compliance and reduced issues faced by the business community.
