FBR Issues Strict Deadlines and Penalties for Tax Compliance
What happened
The Federal Board of Revenue is currently administering tax compliance and penalty structures as part of its operational mandate. Shopkeepers who fail to register under Pakistan’s Easy Tax Scheme or file returns through the regular system face fines of up to Rs. 50,000. Penalties escalate based on filing delays: Rs. 10,000 in the first month, Rs. 25,000 in the second month, and Rs. 50,000 in the third month.
