MULTAN, Mar 26 (APP): Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and Punjab Land Record Authority (PLRA) officials reviewed progress on integration of e-stamp paper with FBR data systems under a landmark pilot project, initially focusing Multan with a view to plug leakage of revenue through digital integration.
The discussions took place during a video link conference with commissioner Multan Amir Kareem Khan in the chair on Thursday.
Commissioner said,it has been decided to collect all provincial and federal taxes related to property transfers at the time of registration through e-stamp paper. He added that steps have already been initiated to enable the collection of FBR taxes through the same system.
