Revamping FBR imperative for broadening tax network, efficiency: Hamad Azhar

ISLAMABAD, Jun 12 (APP):Minister of State for Revenue Hamad Azhar on Wednesday said that revamping of federal board of revenue (FBR), was imperative for broadening tax network and efficiency.

No one could hide black money in the shape of purchasing property, restaurant or depositing millions in the saving centers, he stated while talking to a news channel.

The tax laws would be implemented across the board without discrimination, he stated.

Proposing strict accountability process for those elements found involved in increasing loans, trade and current deficit and putting heavy debt burden over the poor masses, he said, we are planning to gather data of such persons for taking punitive action against them.

The last governments of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-N, had spent imperialistic life on the tax money of the poor people, he said.
