LAHORE: The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) organised a motivational/awareness workshop on Friday for women entrepreneurs of beauty salon businesses to convince them to be part of the Beauty Salon Invoice Monitoring System (BIMS) that in turn would increase tax collection.

The move comes after several unproductive meetings with concerned stakeholders. Organised by the PRA in collaboration with international policy-advisor GIZ, the 'Tax Clinic' was aimed at educating taxpayers and enhancing the scope of taxpayer facilitation in the beauty salon sector.

Punjab Finance Minister Ayesha Ghaus Pasha said the provincial government is improving revenue collection mechanisms to generate funds for mega-development projects.
