Islamabad, Pakistan: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced a major reshuffle in the Inland Revenue Service (IRS), transferring and posting 60 officers across Grades 17 to 20. The decision, officially communicated through notification No. 3176-IR-II/2024, comes into effect immediately and remains valid until further orders.

The reassignments, as detailed in the notification, are part of FBR’s ongoing efforts to optimize the efficiency of tax administration and bolster revenue collection. The transferred officers, holding senior positions in the IRS, include key individuals responsible for taxation, audits, enforcement, and policy implementation.

According to sources within the FBR, this reshuffle reflects the organization’s strategy to address challenges in tax compliance, enhance service delivery, and strengthen regional operations. Officials believe the new postings will inject fresh energy into critical roles across various tax zones.

The large-scale transfer of officers is expected to:

• Strengthen FBR’s regional offices by aligning leadership with specific operational needs.
• Improve taxpayer facilitation and enforcement in high-priority zones.
• Address gaps in compliance and revenue collection in underperforming regions.

The FBR’s reshuffle also underscores its focus on achieving the ambitious revenue targets set for the current fiscal year.

All officers transferred under this notification are directed to assume their new roles promptly to ensure seamless transitions and minimal disruption to taxpayer services.

This marks another significant step in FBR’s ongoing reforms to create a more dynamic and responsive tax administration system. The Revenue Division reiterated its commitment to improving governance and building public trust through efficient tax management.
