Peshawar, Pakistan – The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPRA) has intensified its crackdown on non-compliant taxpayers in Peshawar to improve tax compliance and discourage tax evasion.
A team of KPRA officials conducted a raid on a restaurant in the Saddar Cantonment area, confiscating its records due to its failure to comply with tax regulations. This action is part of a broader crackdown launched by the KPRA across the province.
The restaurant had previously received notices from the KPRA but had not responded. The KPRA team’s raid was a response to this non-compliance. Business Recorder
Director General Fouzia Iqbal has warned that tax evasion will not be tolerated. She urged non-compliant taxpayers to cooperate with the KPRA and ensure complete tax compliance to avoid legal action.
Iqbal emphasized that KPRA teams will not only confiscate records but may also resort to more severe measures such as attaching bank accounts or sealing businesses if taxpayers continue to evade taxes.
To avoid such actions, registered persons who have failed to fulfill their tax obligations are advised to settle their tax liabilities promptly. This includes depositing any due taxes, issuing proper sales tax invoices, and accurately reporting their sales.
