Tax Talks

The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has taken a strong stance against tax evasion in Rawalpindi. The Rawalpindi Commissionerate sealed the license of a manpower recruitment agency for failing to pay outstanding taxes exceeding Rs.3.3 million.

Key Points:

• Repeated Attempts at Recovery: The PRA Commissionerate issued multiple recovery notices to the agency in an attempt to collect the outstanding taxes.
• Enforcement Action: Despite repeated notices, the agency failed to settle its tax dues. Consequently, the PRA sealed the agency’s office and initiated recovery efforts.
• Partial Recovery: Through enforcement action, the PRA managed to recover Rs.2.5 million from the delinquent agency.
