LAHORE: The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has intensified its enforcement drive against tax evasion, delayed payments and tampering of tax records, further tightening regulatory oversight across key service sectors.
According to a spokesperson of the authority, enforcement teams conducted late-night inspections at prominent food chains in the upscale DHA area of Lahore, and imposed fines on three units and issued warning notices to seven others for violations of PRA laws.
The spokesperson reiterated that registration with PRA is mandatory for all businesses operating in the food industry as well as the wider services sector. Persistent non-compliance and manipulation of tax records may result in strict penalties, including heavy fines and potential cancellation of licenses.
Highlighting the importance of compliance, the spokesperson emphasized that taxes paid by citizens constitute a public trust, and their timely and transparent payment is essential for ensuring efficient governance and improved public service delivery.
