The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has intensified efforts to meet its annual tax target for the financial year 2023-24 by issuing a directive to ensure the collection of duties and taxes.
In a letter dispatched to all concerned offices, the FBR has mandated extended working hours for the final days of June.
FBR offices across the country, including large taxpayer units and regional offices, will remain open till late night from June 28 to 30.
The directive includes specific instructions for chief commissioners of land revenue to coordinate closely with the State Bank of Pakistan to facilitate this process.
According to the FBR's schedule:
- On June 28, offices will remain open until 8pm
- On Saturday, June 29, offices will be operational until 6pm
- On Sunday, June 30, relevant tax offices are instructed to stay open until 12 midnight
These measures are part of the FBR's concerted efforts to ensure all due taxes and duties are collected efficiently, aiding in the achievement of the set tax revenue goals for the fiscal year.
The extended hours are expected to provide taxpayers with ample opportunity to fulfill their tax obligations, thus contributing to the overall fiscal health of the country.
