FBR seeks income details of Karachi doctors

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has issued notices to renowned medical centres across Karachi, seeking income details of physicians and surgeons.

According to a document issued by FBR, a large number of doctors and surgeons were found involved in tax evasion despite having registered with Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC).

“The information provided would be cross-matched with the withholding statements filled by the hospitals and the consultants who are not filing the returns. Statutory notices would be issued for filing of income tax returns,” the document read.
