FPCCI’s Atif Ikram FBR System Delays Tax Returns
Atif Ikram Sheikh, President of FPCCI has said that there are difficulties in filing returns owing to a defective system of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) causing delays owing to technical difficulties.
FPCCI President said the FBR must offer attention to the improvement of the tax system alongside its harsh measures.
There are limitations and incapacities in the online system of the FBR and as a result, the tax filing system remains cumbersome for the common man. The system needs to be fixed for delays and downtimes, he said.
Atif Ikram said only 2.6 million taxpayers have filed tax returns so far, which figure is disappointing.
since July 1st, 2023, over 8,44,000 new taxpayers have been added to the tax net. “An extension in the last date of filing returns could increase the tally of returns filers to seven million,” the FPCCI President said.
