PARCO, OICCI Extend Support for FBR’s Taxpayer outreach Programme

PARCO, OICCI Extend Support for FBR’s Taxpayer outreach Programme: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has further widened the scope of its ongoing

taxpayer outreach programme by reaching out to the management of PARCO and

members and office-bearers of OICCI with a view to creating awareness regarding

discharging tax obligations by the taxpayers.

The contacts are being made as part of a countrywide exercise started last

month by FBR to reach out to more than 50 large public and private sector

organisations for roping in their support for the FBR’s drive for filing of Income Tax

returns which expires on 31st of October 2017.

In order to improve the number of tax filers and create awareness about the

advantages of filing of returns, Member Facilitation and Taxpayer Education (FATE)

FBR Mrs. Nausheen Javaid Amjad visited Karachi and held separate meetings with

Managing Director PARCO Mr. Tariq Rizavi as well as members and office-bearers of

Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry, including OICCI Secretary

General Mr. Abdul Aleem.

During the meetings, Ms Nausheen Javaid Amjad said FBR was aware of the

organisations and companies diligently fulfilling their responsibility of reporting salary

paid and taxes withheld from their employees. However, the employees of these

companies were only fulfilling half of their legal obligation and skipping the part that

required them to file their tax returns and become filers to reap a host of dividends and

advantages accrued from the filing of returns, she added.

The PARCO MD and office-bearers of the OICCI lauded what they called a noble

cause and initiative of FBR to create public awareness and improve the number of tax

filers. They assured their full cooperation to make the FBR outreach campaign

successful. Various proposals for simplifying and improving the procedures and

business processes for filing of returns were also discussed and it was agreed to

maintain and further enhance outreach efforts by FBR to build a stronger interface with

the taxpayers.
