Chairman, Pakistan Ship's Agents Association and former vice president FPCCI Tariq Haleem has urged the Chairman Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Shabbar Zaidi to appoint a task force/ JIT to address issues of under/over invoicing, misdeclaration and smuggling on war footing and all these culprits should vigorously be pursued, caught and prosecuted. In a letter to the chairman FBR, he pointed out that this menace is causing massive losses to the national exchequer.
He noted that none of these nefarious activities can be carried out without facilitators. Customs intelligence, FIA, all border authorities, ministry of Interior etc should form special JITs to finish this menace under the direct monitoring of prime minister. These JITs should report to prime minister on a biweekly basis, he suggested.
