Amnesty attracts 95,000 people

ISLAMABAD: More than 95,000 people have registered their undeclared assets so far with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) by availing the Asset Declaration Scheme, the deadline for which is ending on Wednesday, July 3, said FBR Chairman Syed Shabbar Zaidi. “The Asset Declaration Scheme provides a golden chance to people to declare their undeclared assets by paying a little amount of tax,” he said while talking to APP on Tuesday. He was of the view that tax return filing was the responsibility of every citizen to ensure growth and development of the country, adding that through new initiatives, the government had eliminated the concept of non-filer in the tax system and henceforth it would be hard for any citizen to remain out of the tax loop now.
