Chairman of Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Tariq Bajwa briefed Dar on the efforts being made to achieve the revenue targets set in the budget during a performance review meeting on Friday.
During the four-hour long meeting‚ threadbare discussions were held on the existing SROs issued for concessions in Income Tax‚ Customs and Sales Tax.
Bajwa informed the Finance Minister that the plan would be finalised under the broad guidelines to be discussed during the next meeting.
SROs are a mechanism under which export officers can choose which companies would receive tax exemptions.
The system is controversial because of an inherent susceptibility to corruption.

Govt can increase revenue manifold by restoring trust of countrymen by Ending corruption, improving law & order and ensuring justice to all.
