Member Public Relations Federal Board of Revenue, Sardar Ali Khawaja, on Saturday, urged the public and traders to support the Point of Sale (PoS) system.
Addressing the ceremony at FBR’s 10th PoS Prize Scheme as chief guest, he said, “extraordinary steps have been taken to establish transparency in the FBR and as compared to the past, it is now a transparent institution of the country.”
He added that the PoS was the most successful initiative taken by the FBR and it needed to be expanded further. “There is an urgent need to start awareness campaigns across Balochistan to take advantage of the PoS system,” he stated adding that the traders should deliver the tax to the national exchequer through the PoS system and people must take the PoS receipt after the purchase to participate in the lottery.
“Due to the floods, FBR has extended the date of filing returns until October 31st this year,” he noted.
Khawaja further stressed that in order to encourage taxpayers, awareness about the FBR’s reward scheme should be promoted in the public and the scope of facilities should be increased to promote tax culture too.
