The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) government has announced that it will offer cash rewards to individuals who report or identify tax fraud in the province, all while keeping their identities confidential. Regulations to provide legal cover for this reward system, aimed at encouraging public whistleblowers, are in the final stages of development and will soon be implemented as part of efforts to combat tax evasion and fraud with the help of citizens.
This was revealed by the Advisor to the Chief Minister of K-P for Finance Muzammil Aslam during his visit to the headquarters of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPRA). While addressing the KPRA officers, he emphasised that based on citizens' reports, strict action will be taken against those found guilty of tax fraud or evasion. He also announced that individuals who report such fraud will be rewarded with a cash prize, the amount of which will be decided soon.
KPRA Director General Fouzia Iqbal welcomed the advisor with a bouquet and, along with her team, provided a detailed presentation on revenue collection for the first two months of the ongoing financial year.
