Demand Accepted: No tax recovery before decision on appeal

MULTAN: Chief Commissioner Inland Revenue Multan Hafiz Muhammad Jamil Awaisi has said that he has accepted the industrialists’ and traders’ demand for no tax recovery and subsequent freezing of bank account till the decision is taken by the commissioner appeals office. He, however, expressed concern that there existed only 800,000 taxpayers in the country out of a big population of 200 million. “The tax system has improved to the extent that neither tax officials can extend undue benefits to anyone nor they can create problems for the taxpayers,” he said.
