Taxation: Body to deal with harassment issues

Harassment by tax officials makes people unwilling to come under tax net.

LAHORE: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) member (Inland Revenue) Khawar Khurshid Butt has said that no genuine taxpayer will be harassed and a committee comprising members of FBR and Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) will be formed to deal with tax-related issues.
