The CCPO praised the bar’s efforts to increase the tax base in the country. He said a large number of police personnel have become filers in the light of government directives.
“Becoming a filer will not only broaden the tax net but also fulfil a legal requirement,” the CCPO added. Shahzad said over 400,000 people had e-filed their tax returns recently. He said the PTBA represents the entire country through its 32 tax bars.
Vice President Sohail Akhtar and others were also present during the meeting.
