FBR to Monitor Industrial Production Under IMF Condition
As per details, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has fulfilled another condition set by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as it has decided to monitor production in the industrial sector.
According to the FBR, electronic video surveillance will be implemented to track the production of goods. A digital eye software will be installed for this purpose, and a central control unit will provide real-time data to the FBR.
By analyzing production records, legal action can be taken against any violations. No goods will be allowed to leave the factory without proper monitoring.
Monitoring equipment will be installed at business premises through a licensed vendor, who will be responsible for upgrading the technology over time. The vendor will also be authorized to charge a fee for the installation, the FBR said.
The FBR has issued a notification amending the Sales Tax Rules of 2006 to implement this system.
