The first meeting of Steering Group to monitor the reform process in the Central Board of Revenue (CBR) held here on Monday for effective implementation of the reform.
Sources told Business Recorder that Chairman CBR chaired the meeting and Member (Sales Tax), Member (Direct Taxes), Member (Customs), Member (Central Excise) and Member (P&TR) were also present.
Sources said the steering group reviewed the latest position on reform process particularly the ongoing pace of establishment of Large Taxpayer Units (LTUs) and Medium Taxpayers Units (MTUs) in the country.
The committee ensured that the reform programme is progressing as per schedule and in the right direction.
The office of Member (P&TR) will be monitoring and is the co-ordination point for the working of the Steering Group.
Sources said that tax officials have identified many deficiencies in the existing structure of tax machinery. These include duplication in the charter of duties, surplus positions in wings and overlaps of functions among different departments.
